Eureka Police Department responded to the scene after receiving reports of an injury crash. In a report, the crash involved a white sedan and a white pick-up both still in the intersection when the police arrived.
 
According to the preliminary investigation, both vehicles were stopped at a red traffic light. The sedan was northbound on Broadway at West Wabash Avenue and the pick-up was eastbound turn lane of southbound Broadway.
