A two-vehicle crash in Tumwater Saturday afternoon produced enough impact to roll one of the cars onto its top, according to police.

No one was injured and there was no suspicion of driving under the influence, Lt. Jen Kolb said Sunday.

About 12:45 p.m. Saturday, a mother and child were driving east on Mottman Road Southwest, approaching Crosby Boulevard Southwest, near the main campus of South Puget Sound Community College.

Meanwhile, another mother and child were headed south on Crosby Boulevard, Kolb said.

According to Kolb, the eastbound driver looked away for a moment, ran the red light and T-boned the southbound vehicle, causing it to roll over.
