A garbage truck driver is charged with running a red light at a busy south-end intersection after a serious crash injured three people, including an infant.
Police say their investigation reveals the male driver of a dump truck ran a red light while he drove eastbound on Hunt Club Road at about 11 a.m. on Wednesday.
After running the light, police say the truck collided with an SUV driven by a 29-year-old woman who was travelling northbound on Conroy Road.
The crash sheared the SUV in half and caused the dump truck to flip on its side, littering the intersection with bits of metal, as well as a downed traffic light.
The female driver remains in hospital with serious pelvis, leg, and internal injuries.
The woman's two-month-old daughter was treated for a cut to her forehead. Paramedics credit her mother with properly fastening the child in her car seat.
Although the baby was sent to hospital for observation, she has since been released.
Andrew Allen, 25, is charged with careless driving. He was also sent to hospital where he was treated for injuries to his head, neck and ribcage.
