A 21-year-old woman who was a passenger in one of the cars involved said the vehicle she was in was stopped to turn left into Mays Greenhouse when it was rear-ended, pushing the car into the southbound lane, where it was struck head on by the dump truck. She said the car spun around several times and the dump truck veered off the road.
The dump truck struck the side of Mays Greenhouse, pinning the Gator, which had a person driving it, against the building. No further details were available Friday evening.
