Uninsured Driver Causes Four-Car Pile-Up Near Angelo State University

A four car pile-up closed down Avenue N near Angelo State University Friday afternoon. San Angelo traffic policeman Brian Bylsma sorted out the situation.

Bylsma said that he was dispatched to the 2600 block of Avenue N for an unknown problem. It turned out to be a major crash with one person injured. The injured person was in a Dodge Durango. She has refused an ambulance, though.

The way the accident happened, according to Bylsma, is the first three vehicles were in line stopped in the left lane waiting to turn left onto Rosemont. The Durango driver did not see them stopped until it was too late. She laid down 48 feet of skid marks on the pavement in her attempt to stop before crashing into the last of the three vehicles waiting to turn. The domino effect took out the three stopped cars.

The Durango had an infant in a child seat who was crying because of the impact, but Bylsma said the infant wasn't injured.

Two of the vehicles in the crash were sent to the wrecking yard. Two other vehicles were drivable.

The driver of the Dodge Durango was cited for not having insurance and failure to control speed.
