UPDATE 7:14 P.M.
PEORIA, Ill. — Two people are hurt following a vehicle crash that occurred late Wednesday at a busy Peoria intersection.
Images from IDOT traffic cameras near the scene appeared to show two cars had collided head-on near the intersection of War Memorial Drive and Prospect Road shortly before 5:30 p.m.
Multiple fire engines and EMS crews responded to the scene and lanes along both major roadways were blocked for a time as the response continued.
PPD says two people were taken to the hospital with what were described as minor injuries.
It’s still unclear what led to the collision, but a crash investigation will be ongoing through the early evening hours.
Initially, lanes of eastbound War Memorial and northbound Prospect were closed as first responders carried out their duties. The intersection was reopened to normal traffic around 7:10 P.M.
This is a developing story and we will have more once we know more.
