Fortunately, there were no reported injuries, although the presence of infants in the Kia Forte raised concerns among emergency responders.
Emergency services responded promptly, dispatching multiple units to the scene. Upon arrival, responders assessed the situation and ensured the safety of all individuals involved. The gray Kia Forte, which contained nine-month-old twins, was relocated to a safe area to prevent further traffic disruptions.
