Police investigating crash at Powers and Palmer Park

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) — A serious crash sent three people to the hospital Saturday afternoon.

Police said it happened around 2:24 p.m.

Police said a white truck pulling a trailer tried to turn from Powers Blvd. onto Palmer Park Blvd. but didn't make the turn.

It continued through the intersection, jumped a curb and hit a grey hatch back sitting in a turn lane. Three people in that car were taken to the hospital to be evaluated for non-life threatening injuries.

The truck then went off the road, down a hill and crashed into three empty, parked cars in the Walmart parking lot.

Police said the passenger of the truck stayed there while the driver ran away.

CSPD Communications tweeted eastbound and westbound Palmer Park Blvd. was shutdown after the crash.
