Two people are hurt after a crash near this weekend’s Route 66 Mother Road Festival downtown.
Fire crews were called to 5th and Jackson just after 5:30 Saturday evening for a report of a possible extrication. Witnesses indicated that a vehicle that reportedly was just leaving the car show display area crashed into a parked vehicle. Two people were taken to HSHS St. John’s Hospital for treatment, but their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
The annual event drew more than a thousand classic cars and display vehicles into downtown Springfield over the weekend.
