A two-vehicle accident briefly closed southbound Stewart Street at the intersection of 5th Street Friday morning.

A pickup truck carrying three people hit a sports utility vehicle also carrying three passengers at the intersection, causing the SUV to flip. All passengers suffered minor injuries, including one female passenger in the SUV who was taken to Renown.

Sheriff Deputies said one of the vehicles likely ran a red light, but still weren't sure as of 11 a.m. which was the offending vehicle.

The accident happened about 9:30 a.m.
