Two Northwestern students were injured Sunday in a two-vehicle collision on campus.
The crash occurred about 9 p.m. Sunday between Coronado Hall and South Hall.
Cameron Harris, a health and sports science major from Tucson, Ariz., said he was returning to campus on his motorcycle from the NWOSU soccer field. Harris was giving another student a ride to campus on the back of the motorcycle.
Freshman nursing major and NWOSU soccer manager Drew Slovak was the operator of the second vehicle. Her car was hit on the left driver side as she pulled out into the intersection.
“We just got done playing soccer, and I was bringing the other guy back to the dorms. I was going down the road next to South Hall and there is no stop sign at the intersections. (Slovak) pulled out in front of us and I ran into her,” said Harris.
Sierra Swanson, NWOSU sophomore, witnessed the collision.
“I was walking to my friend’s car and all of a sudden I see two people flying through the air,” said Swanson.
Harris suffered a broken arm and a displaced hip, while his passenger broke his ankle.
Harris said the accident brings into question the safety of that area of campus.
“I feel there needs to be a stop sign there for sure,” said Harris.
Safety changes have been made to this area since Sunday, such as the pedestrian crosswalks being repainted.
The names of Harris’ passenger was not available.
