A two-vehicle crash at the intersection of 13th Street and Ryan Road Saturday afternoon sent both drivers to Froedtert Hospital.
According to an Oak Creek police report:
A 54-year-old Oak Creek man was making a left turn onto westbound Ryan Road about 3:30 p.m. when it struck a vehicle southbound on 13th Street.
A witness told police the man did not have a left-turn signal and tried to rush through traffic before the light change.
The man suffered neck, head, shoulder and leg pain. He and the other driver, a 23-year-old Franklin man, were taken by ambulances to the hospital.
The 23-year-old's vehicle sustained severe damage to the front end. The 54-year-old's car had moderate damage and airbag deployment.
No information was available on possible citations.

I would think the OCPD could make alot of $$ along the Ryan Road drag strip, which runs from Pennsylvania to 27th Street. Just a thought....
