News Center 7 spoke with a neighbor who lives near where the crash happened. He said he heard a loud noise and saw smoke.
“I walked around to what would be the driver’s side,” said Nathaniel Beckman. “There I saw a woman who was falling out of the car and walked over to her and started talking to her.”
He said he and other bystanders checked on the two injured.
“It was kind of crazy,” said Beckman. “It’s the fourth or fifth kind of big car accident, maybe within 100 yards of here in the last year.”
