At 1:35 p.m., police were called to the intersection of Coliseum and Parnell Avenue on a report of a four-car crash, a statement from city police said.

Witnesses told police a car going east on Coliseum Boulevard at a high rate of speed never slowed, and rear-ended an SUV that was stopped at the light at Coliseum and Parnell. Two other cars stopped at the light were also hit, the statement said.

The driver and the passenger of the car responsible for the crash were seen running away from the crash site toward the south and retail business area parking lots.
