Redding police officers were dispatched to the multi-level parking garage just after 4 p.m., after receiving reports of a two-vehicle collision, Redding Police Cpl. Chris Mills reported after the crash.
When officers arrived they found a blue Pontiac G6 that had collided into a parked white Ford F-250. The collision left both vehicles dangling dangerously over the edge of the garage’s second level, near the southeast corner of the parking structure.
