FRANKLIN — Police and fire units are cleaning up the scene of a two-car crash on Second Street in front the Church of the Nazarene.

According to Franklin police, the driver of a Toyota Camry was traveling westbound on Second Street when the car went left of center and struck a white van coming in the opposite direction. The impact sent the van crashing into a 3-foot-tall block wall in front of the Church of the Nazarene.

The accident occurred just after noon today, Feb. 26.

There was one adult and three juveniles in the van, while only the driver was in the Toyota Camry. No one was transported from the scene, according to Sgt. Shannon Cotton of the Franklin Police Department.

Two separate towing companies were moving the cars from the scene at about 12:35 p.m. A street sweeper was also being called in to clean up debris, according to scanner traffic.

JEMS, Franklin police and fire officials were at the scene.

East and westbound traffic on Second Street is being rerouted by police. Officials said Second Street should reopen shortly.
