Update: Cars hit house, fence after 34th/Trenton crash

Driving along SW Trenton just east of 35th might be slow going for a bit as two tow trucks are busy towing two cars that collided on the north side of 34th/Trenton, one winding up in a house’s yard, one through a fence (photo above). No serious injuries; one driver has been taken to the hospital in a private ambulance. 34th is blocked off at the scene till the towing crews’ work is done.

ADDED 5:36 PM: The family who owns the home escaped injury, though they were all home – husband, wife, and two little kids. He told us that he heard three loud impacts, and thought maybe someone was hitting parked cars along 34th – then went out to discover the car in the yard (which also damaged the house, at the daylight basement level) and the one through the fence next door.

ADDED 6:06 PM: About to add more photos. Nathan reports that the street is open again. (Also thanks to Sam and Val for the original tips.)

    just… wow.

    is it just me, or do we need more stringent driver licensing rules in this state?

    It looks like it was an equal fighting match as both were massive vehicles. Both took equal punches.

      Mercedes station wagon and Cadillac sedan, to be precise.

    Yes, I see that. It sort of reminds me of the demolition derbies my dad took me to as a kid.

    Maybe there will be a grudge match to be scheduled at a future date and place. I’d pay to see it.

Sorry, comment time is over.
