A 21-year-old man had been stopped at a red light in his Chevy Cruze at Franklin Boulevard westbound. He was hit from behind by the driver of a Nissan Sentra, later identified as Mary Dale Stewart, age 49, of Eugene. The impact had sent the Chevy through the intersection, narrowly avoiding a collision with a car that was turning north from Franklin Boulevard eastbound. Stewart was taken by Eugene Springfield Fire EMS to a local hospital. The Chevy’s driver was injured but not transported.
