The original crash happened around 1:15 p.m. when a sedan turning left hit another car resulting in both striking a third vehicle sitting at a stoplight. The responding deputies were hurt while they were standing in the road. They’d exited their cruisers to help when a collision between two pickups propelled both trucks into the vehicles involved in the first crash.
No one was identified in the incident.
