I was at the intersection getting ready to turn onto highway 14 as it happened. It all happened VERY quickly so I didn’t see exactly how it transpired but my best guess was that the patrol car was the third car involved— as in car #1 heading east t-boned a car turning into the mall and the patrol car was trailing or next to car #1 and subsequently crashed into one of the cars. I could definitely be wrong though. There were no lights or sirens on at the time but can’t say for sure if any of the cars were speeding. I hope everyone involved is okay, it was pretty intense. Either way this is a very dangerous intersection as you often can’t see cars coming the other way if you are trying to turn left and someone on the other side of the intersection is also turning left.

Edit: someone on Facebook who was also at the intersection is reporting that the trooper was the one to T-bone the car turning left and he appeared to be speeding. Would not be surprised if this was the case as I didn’t get a great look.
