One person severely injured near 5674 S ARCHER AVE in Garfield Ridge
A non-motor vehicle user was severely injured after a Monday morning hit-and-run turning collision in Garfield Ridge on September 14, 2026 at 5:15 AM.
The crash occurred near 5674 S ARCHER AVE, at a four-way intersection. The posted speed limit was 30 mph. There was a traffic light. It was dawn, the weather was clear, and the roadway was dry. The police report attributed the cause of the crash to disregarding traffic signals; and, secondarily, to failing to yield right of way.

- A 2022 Ford F150 was heading southwest. The police report described the driver, an unknown age male, as disregarding traffic controls/signals. The police report did not have additional details about the driver.
- A 2015 Dodge Charger was heading north while turning left and was hit in the rear. The driver, a 39-year-old man, was uninjured; his airbag did not deploy.
The police report described the non-motor vehicle user, a 54-year-old man, as crossing with the signal; he reportedly suffered incapacitating injuries.
Police were notified at 5:15 AM and made a report on scene. This was the 786th injurious crash reported in September 2026, and the 13,133rd injurious crash reported in 2026.
