A crash involving two cars at the intersection of North Broad and Wallace streets left a child and two men hurt on Wednesday, officials confirmed to NBC10.
The crash happened in the Spring Garden section of the city around 4:15 p.m. on Sept. 3 when a 2021 white-colored Hyundai Kona going the wrong way blew through a red light, police said.
When the car went through the light, it crashed into a 2017 white-colored Toyota Camry that was traveling on Wallace Street causing both vehicles to sustain extensive damage to their front bumpers, officials explained.
The driver of the Toyota denied medical attention because he wanted to go with his 11-year-old son, who was a passenger, to the hospital where the child was placed in critical condition, police said.
A 39-year-old man also riding as a passenger in the Toyota was taken to a nearby hospital where he was placed in stable condition, according to police.
The driver of the Hyundai, a 33-year-old man, was taken to a nearby hospital where he was placed in a critical condition, police said.
SkyForce10 was over the scene to find two cars damaged in the middle of the intersection, with traffic slowed down but allowed to pass.
Multiple police cars were also on scene, as well as a tow truck.
Police have also put down sand to trap fuel that may have spilled on the roadway as well.
The Philadelphia Police Department’s Crash Investigation Division is looking into what caused this crash.
