This collision happened when traffic backed up at the traffic light in front
of K-Mart. The truck was headed westbound on Palmer and attempting to make
a left hand turn into K-Mart parking lot. The first 2 lanes were stopped,
but the driver failed to see the red car traveling down the third lane due
to the line of vehicles that were backed up.
This type of accident happens all the time in the same general area due to
drivers leaving or trying to get into the parking lot. They always fail to
see the cars that are still traveling in the open lanes.
