The accident occurred on the afternoon of July 14th at the intersection of 22nd Avenue South and 13th Street South, involving a blue Toyota Corolla and a black Ford Edge. The Corolla, which was reportedly speeding, collided with the Ford Edge as it was turning, causing the Toyota to roll multiple times.
