Six people, including a pregnant woman and four children, were injured in a car accident Friday afternoon when a car overturned on Broad Street.
The accident occurred just before noon when a burgundy Chevrolet Impala, turning left onto Alabama Avenue, struck a gold Chevrolet headed north on Broad Street.
Witness Wyoming Johnson said the accident occurred as the light turned red. The gold Chevrolet subsequently flipped once onto its roof, Johnson said.
All four passengers in the gold Chevrolet were transported to Vaughan Regional Medical Center. Selma police officer Sgt. Roy Nix said the passengers sustained minor injuries.
Northbound traffic on Broad Street was blocked off and being diverted onto Alabama Avenue. Southbound traffic was reduced to one lane.
