A southbound vehicle attempting to turn into the market’s parking lot collided with a northbound vehicle, disabling both. One female was injured and taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries; the two occupants of the other vehicle did not require hospitalization. Rockwood police, fire department, and ambulance personnel responded. Traffic was detoured to Kingston Avenue northbound during the investigation and cleanup. The full police report for the second incident is not yet available.
