Turned over SUV slows traffic on Tuttle Creek Blvd. & Leavenworth St. on Monday

A white Toyota SUV crashed at the intersection of Tuttle Creek Boulevard & Leavenworth Street shortly before 7:00pm on Monday. 

The Riley County Police Department said that the driver of the white Toyota SUV was behind a vehicle that had slowed down for the yellow light, driving southbound on Tuttle Creek Boulevard. The driver of the Toyota attempted to slow down, but told RCPD that his brakes didn't work, and the driver was trying to avoid crashing into the vehicle that was slowing in front of him. 

​Instead of crashing into the car that was slowing, the driver of the Toyota decided to swerve and attempt to jump the curb but the car hit the curb, which caused the Toyota to flip over onto the drivers side and come to a rest on the curb. The Toyota SUV had to be removed from the scene by a tow truck and the driver did not have any injuries from the accident.
