1 Injured, 7 Unharmed in Cedar Park Two-Vehicle Crash
Incident Overview
A disturbing traffic accident took place in Cedar Park, Texas, on Monday morning. Two vehicles were involved in a collision at the intersection of Cypress Creek and Anderson Mill Road. This unfortunate incident resulted in one individual suffering non-life-threatening injuries and requiring immediate medical attention. Meanwhile, seven unsuspecting individuals miraculously escaped the accident unharmed.
First Responders at the Scene
The Austin-Travis County EMS was quick to respond to the distress call issued at around 10:31 a.m. On arrival, they discovered one person pinned in a vehicle, which necessitated immediate and careful extrication by the highly trained first responders. Soon thereafter, the injured party was promptly transferred to St. David’s Round Rock, where they received the necessary medical care.
Others Involved in Crash Refuse Medical Assistance
Despite the potential risk of unattended injuries or shock, all seven of the other individuals involved in the crash showed immense grit and refused medical treatment at the scene. Their choice to forgo immediate medical check-ups frees up resources for other emergencies the Austin-Travis County EMS team may have to attend to.

Westbound lanes were completely closed to ensure the safety of both the responders at the scene and the unaffected public.
