Machado updated, “We’re trying to determine where the vehicles were positioned prior to the crash and see where in the intersection which vehicles entered at which point. We’re still interviewing witnesses to determine which if any vehicle had run the red light, or if both vehicles were in the intersection at a red light.”
The other fatal crash happened on Highway 120 and La Grange Road on Saturday, January 8th.
