An SUV traveling at a high rate of speed instigated a five-vehicle collision on Park Avenue near midday Wednesday, Oct. 29, police said.
Police temporarily closed Third Avenue and a portion of Park Avenue between Reed and Through Streets to clear the area.
Five people were transported for medical treatment and all the motorists involved appear to be adults, said Capt. Jason Kravetz, who was unable to provide any details on their medical status.
Based on preliminary information, the accident was apparently caused by a Lexus SUV traveling westbound on Park Avenue that rear-ended one car and then plowed into an SUV, which caromed into a parked pick-up that pushed into yet another car, Kravetz said.
