While Walker was able to walk away from the crash, the Honda driver was rushed to the hospital via ambulance.
A volunteer officer helping to direct traffic around the scene mentioned that the traffic situation with cars leaving Via Poco can sometimes be a traffic hazard to those traveling on Manchester. "This intersection is real dangerous here becuase people don't know if you're going to make a left turn or not."
