A Mini Cooper SUV struck a Mercedes station wagon as it was pulling out of a space on the 600 block of Davis Street, then flipped over on its side in an accident Monday evening.
Police cited the driver of the Mercedes, a 90 year-old Evanston woman, for failure to yield the right-of-way, according to Perry Polinksi, the Evanston Police Department’s communications coordinator.
Police said there were no injuries. Both drivers declined medical treatment.
The accident occurred around 5:45 p.m. Streets around the accident were closed for roughly an hour as a tow truck was brought to the scene to remove the vehicles.
John Albergo, a downtown worker, said he had just left his office and was walking east on Davis, crossing Chicago Avenue when he heard a loud bang.
He said he saw the black SUV glance off the Mercedes pulling out of a parking spot on the north side of the street and “then it flipped.”
