On Wednesday morning, November 24, one person died and three were injured in a single vehicle crash.
According to authorities, the accident happened at around 10.20 a.m. when a Chevrolet Sedan hit a tree near Bannister Road and James A. Reed Road. There were four people, all teens, in the vehicle at the time, and according to witnesses the car had been speeding up and down the street, possible racing or joyriding. As the vehicle was racing northbound on Spring Valley the driver lost control and swerved which caused the car to hit the tree on the parkway.
One of the teens, who was a passenger was killed and the other three, including the driver, were all taken to hospital with serious injuries. Their current condition is unknown.
The accident is still under investigation, but police believe the main factor was the speed of the vehicle.
