Carolyn Sackariason/Daily Press A four-car accident Monday afternoon at Wilshire Boulevard and Sixth Street sent one man to the hospital with arm and neck injuries. According to eyewitnesses, the driver of the SUV, right foreground, ran a red light while traveling west on Wilshire. That SUV hit a car attempting a right turn onto Wilshire, causing it to slide into the eastbound lane where it was stopped by two vehicles approaching the intersection. “He came barreling through the light,” said Francine Harris, who was waiting at the light to make a left hand turn onto Sixth Street from Wilshire. “It was totally red. He passed me at the light.” None of the drivers have been identified and the condition of the driver who was hit was unknown.
