Workers from the City of Manhattan removed a pedestrian walk signal that was knocked over during a three-car collision Wednesday afternoon at the corner of Manhattan Avenue and Vattier Street. No injuries were reported at the scene.

Police were called to the intersection of North Manhattan and Vattier Street around 1 p.m. on Wednesday as a result of a three-car accident.

Les Horn, patrol officer with the Riley County Police Department (RCPD), said the accident occurred after a red Honda entered the intersection trying to leave K-State and struck a North-bound blue Ford Crown Victoria. The Honda skidded and struck a pedestrian crossing light, and the Ford hit a third vehicle.

Horn said no injuries were reported. “There was a lot of damage, but nobody was hurt,” Horn said.

The RCPD received assistance from the City of Manhattan with the clean up of the damage. The K-State Police Department also assisted the RCPD by helping direct traffic away from the accident.
