A two car collision occurred on the intersection of Gridley and Alondra adjacent to the parking lot in front of the tennis courts Monday, March 30 at approximately 3 p.m.

The two cars involved was a grey Mitsubishi Gallant and a black Chevy Traverse.

One of the victims in the car accident was pried from the car by fire fighters while they put a neck brace on the victim.

The man being pulled out of the Mitsubishi Gallant looked in his early 20s and then carried onto an ambulance by paramedics.

The black Chevy Traverse was driven by a 24-year-old woman and two children, according to the driver’s brother, Gustavo Robles.

According to police the Mitsubishi was driving at 40 miles per hour and collided with the black car on the yellow light.

Sheriff Robles said, “Party two [black car] pulled into turn to make the left, light went red and made her turn.

“Party one was coming through, saw he had a yellow and continued through the intersection at 40 miles per hour.”

Uziel Torres, 43, saw the accident from start to finish.

He said, “The woman [black car] was going on Alondra trying to make a turn into Gridley, the light was yellow, and she was already in the middle of the street ready to turn left,

“The man [grey car] sped to try and catch the yellow light, traffic was already stopping, he hit her in the front and they both sped out into the streets.”

According to firefighter officials, the squad that responded to the accident was on their way back from an earlier call.

They saw the crash in the street and immediately pulled over to help.

“I’d say the call came three minutes after the accident,” a firefighter official said.

Torres said, “I’ve been living on this street for 10 years, this isn’t the first time this happens. There should be a speed bump or something to help prevent things like this.”

About the Contributor
Sebastian Echeverry
Sebastian Echeverry, Editor in Chief
Hello all, my name is Sebastian Echeverry and I am the Editor-in-Chief for the fall 2015 semester. I have been working for the newspaper for four semesters now and slowly climbed the ranks from staff writer, to assistant sports editor, to sports editor, news/managing editor and finally the big cheese. My interest in journalism began when the twin towers fell on September 11 and the U.S. invaded Iraq. Global news coverage of airstrikes in Baghdad plagued the media and my father who served in the Colombian military would sit with me and explain what was going on to me. I was only eight years old at the time, so putting politics aside, I was only interested in how reporters on the front lines were seeing history unfold in front of them. Since then, I enjoyed reading and writing especially about global news. My first taste of research was for a high school paper about the militias still active in the U.S. I remember sipping some brew outside on the Coffee Bean's patio and being swallowed up by data, and liking it. I Currently have a part time job at Calvin Klein, my favorite sport is soccer and I love, Barcelona, Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund. I also enjoy watching hockey and my favorite team there is the Detroit Red Wings, yeah weird I know. I'm an easy person to approach and talk to and if you have story ideas let's get cracking on them! my email is: [email protected] My Twitter is: C_bass581141 My Instagram is: onlyc_bass5 and for giggles my snapchat is: onlyc_bass5
