Fourth of July fireworks turned chaotic in Amarillo Saturday night after a multi-vehicle car accident that sent five people to the hospital.
A driver of a Grand Am was stopped in the left lane of Bell Street around 7pm, waiting to turn left into John S. Stiff Memorial Park to watch the fireworks. An Explorer traveling at an excessive rate of speed came up behind the stopped Grand Am. The driver of the Explorer swerved to avoid rear-ending the car and wound up crashing into a Corolla.
At this point, the driver of the Explorer completely lost control of the vehicle, rear-ending the Grand Am and then spinning wildly until colliding with a Dodge pickup.
A stream of people continued to arrive to watch the fireworks and found the Bell Street entrance closed for over two hours. Traffic was diverted to a second park entrance, but those entering on foot walked passed the accident on their way into the park.
