On Monday Oct. 15, at about 3:02 a.m., Police and Fire Department personnel responded to the intersection of Colorado Boulevard and Wilson Avenue regarding a two car collision.
A black 2015 Dodge Charger being driven by a 26 year-old Pasadena woman collided with a green 1995 Honda Civic being driven by a 43 year-old woman, also from Pasadena.
Preliminary investigation suggests the Dodge Charger was travelling south on Wilson Avenue at a high rate of speed when the driver of the vehicle ran a red signal. The Charger collided with the Honda Civic, which was travelling west on Colorado Boulevard.
Debris from the collision damaged buildings on the southwest corner of Colorado Boulevard and Wilson Avenue, and the speed at which the Charger was travelling caused it to strike a wooden pole on the west side of Wilson Avenue south of Colorado Boulevard. The Charger came to rest on the east side of Wilson Avenue just north of Green Street.
Both women involved in the collision were transported to a local hospital with moderate injuries and were admitted in stable condition.
The driver of the Dodge Charger is believed to have been under the influence of an alcoholic beverage at the time of the incident. She is not being identified, as the Police Department’s investigation is ongoing. This collision underscores the dangers associated with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
