Both Drivers Claim to Have Had Green Light in Afternoon Crash

All drivers claimed to have a green light in a minor motor vehicle accident that occurred this afternoon at the five-way intersection at Avenue N, Koenigheim, Old Knickerbocker Road and Ben Ficklin Road.

SAPD Officer Brian Bylsma said a white Ford Ranger and a silver Dodge Stratus were sitting in the intersection when he arrived on scene. Bylsma said the driver of the Stratus said she was coming off Old Knickerbocker Road and had a green light. The driver of the white pickup, who was traveling on Ave. N also claimed to have a green light.

The vehicles collided in the intersection. A witness stopped at the red light on Koenigheim said he didn't see much of what was going on, Bylsma said. He looked down, then back up and both cars were coming at him.

Due to a lack of witnesses, neither driver will be cited. There were no injuries reported in the crash.
