Two-car accident closes downtown intersection
DAYTON - Three people were removed by ambulance to Miami Valley Hospital after two cars collided in the intersection of Jefferson and Patterson streets about 11:45 a.m. Friday, Oct. 23.
Fire crews had to use heavy equipment to extract the driver of a minivan as rain poured on rescue crews. All three taken to the hospital had non-life threatening injuries.
It is unclear what caused the accident, though investigators suspected the driver of the minivan or the Saab sedan ran through a traffic light, a fire official at the scene said.
Police officers were investigating the crash as all but one lane of the intersection was reopened to downtown traffic as of 12:15 p.m.
