The Volkswagon was spun 180 degrees and suffered major structural damage, while the pickup truck continued westbound, crossed Van Horn St. and wedged betweene a tree and a lamp post on a grassy bank beside the railroad tracks.

Two occupants of the Volkswagon and single occupant of the pickup truck were taken to hospital with minor injuries.

Police continue to investigate, but do not believe alcohol to be a factor in the incident.
