All drivers and occupants were transported to a medical facility for injuries caused by the collision. The department’s accident reconstructionist was called to the scene to assist with the investigation. The collision is still under investigation until all statments and evidence can be collected and processed. Driver information will not be released on social media to provide privacy to the parties involved. ... See MoreSee Less

Super Bowl Sunday 🏈 is a popular night for parties which means alcohol will be consumed like milk in an elementary school cafeteria.
