Less than an hour later, shortly before 8:45 p.m. a two-vehicle collision occurred on Kenmount Road. The crash happened near a popular car meet and weekly gathering for car enthusiasts. The collision caused significant damage to both vehicles, and tore the rear wheel from a pickup truck. Traffic was reduced to one lane in either direction for a time. As with the earlier collisions, there were no serious injuries to report.
