The Tuscaloosa Police Department says officers responded to the intersection of Skyland Boulevard and Hargrove Road East at 8:08 p.m. after a vehicle either ran the stop light or failed to yield the right of way while turning left from Skyland Boulevard onto Hargrove Road East.

TPD says the suspect vehicle then struck a Hyundai Sonata, causing the driver to lose control and cross over the grass median and into the oncoming lanes of traffic.

The Sonata was then struck a second time, this time by an oncoming Ford Edge that then left the roadway and crashed into the hill alongside Skyland Boulevard.

TPD said the Sonata was disabled in the roadway before firefighters extricated the driver and transported him to DCH Regional Medical Center with serious injuries. The driver of the Ford was also injured and transported to DCH.

The red two-door sedan that prompted the crash is possibly a late 1990s – early 2000s Ford Mustang.

Those with any information relating to this case are asked to contact TPD (205) 349-2121 or CrimeStoppers at 205-752-STOP (7867).
