There was a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of South Donahue Drive and South College Street on Monday, Jan. 19.
A blue 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier going southbound on College Street collided with a gray Toyota Corolla.
Jeffrey Robinson, an Auburn resident, was the driver of the Cavalier.
"I had a green light," Robinson said. "The Toyota Corolla was turning left without a turning signal."
Robinson said he slammed on his brakes when he noticed the other car.
"We met right dead center of the street," Robinson said. "I was deflected off towards a light pole."
Ryan Bynum, sophomore in pre-med, was the driver of the Corolla.
"I had a green yield light, and he had a green light, and I was turning left off South College onto South Donahue," Bynum said. "He was coming straight and his headlights were on."
Bynum said he thought Robinson was further down the hill.
"I started turning, thought I had plenty of time and realized ... he was coming up faster and a little closer than I thought," Bynum said.
Bynum said both cars clipped corners in the middle of the intersection.
The accident was cleared at approximately 7:50 p.m.
