Jeremy Pierre, a visiting junior from Iowa State University, witnessed the accident.
“(A Honda) was heading east on Green Street, and after they stopped…” Pierre said. “They almost got T-boned by a car heading west,”
Pierre added that the other vehicle involved in the incident pulled out to the intersection and “stayed on the break” after the close call, and that’s when the Jeep became involved.
“The Jeep was coming, who had the right of way, and (the Honda) hit him in the rear and it ripped the spring out of the back of the car (the Jeep) and flipped it over.”
The Jeep has been towed as of approximately 1:37 p.m.
