On Monday, May 30 at 5:13 p.m., police responded to a seven vehicle collision on College Avenue West near University Drive.
A black four door Mazda, that was westbound on College Avenue, veered around a white minivan attempting to turn eastbound on College Avenue from University and struck a Honda that was stopped in a line of traffic.
