At that time V#1 entered the intersection without yielding to V#2. As a result, the front end of V#1 struck the front end of V#2 and both vehicles came to respective positions of uncontrolled rest. Op #1 and his sole passenger were transported by ambulance to Porter Medical Center with suspected moderate injuries.
