There was a three car collision this afternoon on North Front Street. No one was seriously hurt, but it put a major dent into traffic during one of the busiest times of day – the lunch hour. 7NEWS was on the scene.
Keith Swift Reporting,
This was the chaotic scene on North Front Street at the height of rush hour at noon. The long line of traffic had to be diverted against the flow of traffic unto Victoria Street because of this three car collision. Nigerian Teime Dagenor crashed his 1994 Mitsubishi Gallant into the rear end of Zan Chu Chen’s late model Volvo SUV. Both men pointed the fingers at each other.

“The vehicle, I stopped, he went and then he stopped, suddenly. My brake is good. It is working good.”
Zan Chu Chen, Driver
“I came out from there and the car drive fast and he knocked back of my car.”
And though the collision looks bad, neither Dagenor nor Chen was hurt. The only injury was a slight injury to chest of Maribelle Pariente who was in this Mitsubishi Radar.

“I just heard a loud noise like an explosion, I guess the airbag from the white car and then it hit this Volvo which then hit mine, I guess a chain reaction, and I hit my chest on the steering wheel and that’s it.”
