With a smashed Jeep and a bashed Ford Focus in the street, AMR paramedics stood by with a gurney - in case one or both drivers needed medical transport. It turned out that none did.

A rear-end collision on S.E. 52nd Avenue at Duke Street brought out Woodstock’s Fire Station 25 paramedics, an ambulance, and police at 1:24 p.m. on April 28.

Why the crash took place remains unclear. A red Ford Focus was heading northbound, stopped or slowing for the intersection, when it was soundly struck from behind by a Jeep Unlimited “Bigfoot Edition”.

The impact did little to the Jeep, but the back end of the Ford sedan was caved in, and the rear window shattered.

Paramedics checked over the driver of the Ford, who later declined transportation to a local hospital. Since it was adjudged there was no injury involved, under current city policy the accident was not investigated further, and was left to the insurance companies involved to resolve.
