Crews respond Monday, Feb. 18, 2013, to an accident at Remount and Perin roads in North Little Rock.

Crews were on the scene of an accident late Monday morning in North Little Rock that sent a Baptist Health van toppling onto its side.

It happened about 11:30 a.m. on Remount Road north of Perin Road. There were not believed to be any serious injuries, but the cleanup was tying up traffic in the area at noon.

The van driver, Quinton Jackson, said he was driving north on Remount when a southbound car hit the side of his vehicle, sending it into a ditch.

"I just looked up and she was coming sideways at me," he said. "There was nowhere I could go."

Jackson said he was shaken up but not hurt. No one else was in the van, which was headed to pick up a patient.
