Two people were apparently hurt in a Corvette versus pickup rollover accident on Northeast Stephens Street in Roseburg Wednesday afternoon.

The wreck was reported shortly before 4:00 p.m. and took place at the intersection with Northeast Oakland Avenue. News Radio 93-9 FM and 1240 KQEN was on the scene shortly after the crash was initially reported.

According to a witness, the Corvette was coming from Oakland Avenue between Clint Newell Auto Group and Safeway when it struck the southbound pickup. The Corvette ended up on the sidewalk next to a sign for Apex Ace Home Center. The pickup came to a rest upside down on the edge of the Apex property facing westbound. The vehicle’s canopy came off and landed on Stephens Street.

Two ambulances were on site, and it appeared that both drivers were receiving medical attention with at least one reportedly transported as a trauma patient. Southbound Stephens Street was closed with traffic being diverted into the Safeway parking lot. One lane of northbound traffic was able to get through the area under the direction of Roseburg Police.

A report is expected later in the day from RPD.
