Local crash sends 2 men to hospital

Two men were taken to Bloomington Hospital after an automobile crash Tuesday.
At 12:14 p.m. officers were called to the accident near Bloomington High School South, said Bloomington Police Department Lt. Bill Parker. A Cadillac was heading north on South Walnut Street as a truck attached to a trailer bed carrying an ATV was heading south. Witnesses told police they saw the Cadillac weaving on the road and heard honking coming from the same car. The Cadillac swerved over the center line, hitting the truck, Parker said.
The Cadillac driver appeared to be impaired, and officers had to restrain him, Parker said. He was given a sedative and taken to the hospital along with the truck driver. Officers do not know yet what kind of injuries each driver sustained, Parker said.
Police are investigating the Cadillac driver’s possible impairment.
