No injuries were reported after a two-vehicle collision near the intersection of Stadionweg and Avenida Milio Croes on Tuesday afternoon, but one of the vehicles later rolled into a nearby wall.
Police were sent to the area after receiving a report of a traffic accident involving a pickup and a Kia Cerato.
Collision near Stadionweg
According to AWE24, the pickup driver did not yield to the Kia, which was approaching from the direction of PriceSmart. The vehicles collided at the intersection.
After the impact, the pickup driver got out but reportedly left the vehicle in neutral without applying the handbrake. The unattended pickup then moved backward and struck the wall of the Art & Design property.
No injuries reported
Despite the two impacts, the initial report said no one was injured. The extent of the damage to the vehicles and wall was not detailed.
Police had not announced citations or a final determination of responsibility when the report was published. The account reflects information available at the scene.
Securing a stopped vehicle
The Oranjestad pickup collision also serves as a reminder to place a vehicle in park or gear and fully apply the parking brake before stepping out, especially after a crash when the driver may be distracted.
