Accident delays students

Published in Long Beach City College's Viking newspaper in 2007.

Two cars collided at the intersection of Clark Avenue and Carson Street near the LAC about 10 a.m. Monday, Feb. 12.
A Long Beach Police traffic unit arrived and handled the situation while campus police assisted. Police diverted traffic traveling south on Clark to east on Carson for a short period of time until the debris was cleaned up and the two cars, a white four-door Ford Focus and a gray Ford Escort, were rigged to a tow truck and carted off.
"It was just a traffic accident with minor injuries," Officer David Fritz said. "There were no students involved."
The Focus sustained front-end damage while the Escort was damaged on the rear, passenger side and front end.
"Campus police will usually handle traffic accidents occurring around campus or on campus," Lt. Julie Prior said. "In major intersections, usually motor units or beat units will handle them."
