Shortly after 1 AM on Saturday, Lincoln Police were dispatched to the area of 70th and O St on the report of a car accident. When officers arrived, they determined that three vehicles had been involved in a crash. Upon investigating, police learned that a Ford F150 and Cadillac sedan were making a left turn from 70th St onto O St with a green turn signal when a Mercedes sedan crashed into the F150. The force from the collision caused the F150 to subsequently crash into the Cadillac.
Peirce Williams, 49, was identified as the driver of the Mercedes. He fled the scene on foot but was soon found by police. Williams was lodged in jail and cited for leaving the scene of an injury accident, driving under suspension, driving under the influence, violating a traffic signal, and no proof of insurance.
Several occupants of the F150 and Cadillac went to the hospital for minor injuries.
