A severe traffic accident occurring recently resulted in serious injuries to three people, one of which remains in critical condition. The car crash happened at a local intersection around 11:30 at night. A black four-door sedan travelling east collided with a late model car that was eastbound. Reports did not indicate as yet which vehicle had run the red light. The driver and passenger of the late model sedan suffered moderate injuries while the driver of the smaller black car remains in the hospital for care for much more serious injuries. According to a spokesperson for the police, neither driver was under the influence of alcohol.
