Two cars collide at intersection of Euclid, Sumner Avenues
Two cars collided at the intersection of Sumner and Euclid Avenues on Friday at 9:17 p.m.
No Syracuse University students were involved in the collision. But officers from the Department of Public Safety and the Syracuse Police Department blocked off a portion of Euclid Avenue from Livingston to Ackerman Avenues while they cleaned up the accident.
A black 2008 Mercedes was traveling west on Euclid Avenue when it collided with a tan 2005 Nissan crossing the intersection and heading north on Sumner Avenue, said DPS Lt. Edward Weber. There were two passengers in the Mercedes and three passengers in the Nissan. All suffered minor injuries and refused to be taken to the hospital, Weber said. The injuries were treated by Rural/Metro Corporation.
Both of the cars suffered property damage and both were to be towed by SPD, Weber said. The Mercedes could be driven but was leaking fluids and the Nissan wasn’t drivable, he said. Two flatbed trucks from Henson Towing and Collision Service were on the scene to tow the cars.
SPD was the main police agency handling the accident with DPS assisting, Weber said.
‘Just two cars hit; that basic,’ he said. ‘There were no SU students and it’s nice to see that.’
