Police said a two-vehicle collision occurred at the intersection of Aero Drive and Aero Gate N.E. at around 6 p.m. on March 31.

At the time, a car with two occupants was travelling southbound on Aero Drive through the intersection of Aero Gate. At the same time, an SUV with a single occupant was travelling northbound on Aero Drive and turned left to get onto the westbound lanes of Aero Gate.

Police said the car struck the passenger-side front door of the SUV, causing the car to rotate around 90 degrees and come to a stop. The SUV continued to turn and came to a controlled stop a short distance later.
