Witnesses told me that this black car had ran the stop sign on 4th Street hitting the silver/gray car. A motorcycle that was just behind the sliver/gray car miraculously avoided being hit by the cars or any debris flying off the cars as he drove through the scene. The silver/gray car hit a tree and light pole on the sidewalk before coming to a stop. I'm told the two drivers were taken to the hospital with unknown injuries, the motorcyclist was not hurt.
