A minivan was flipped onto its roof Thursday afternoon as a result of a two-car collision in north Evanston.

The 23-year-old male driver of the minivan attempted a left turn in the 2400 block of Oakton Street at about 3:45 p.m., causing a red Cadillac heading eastbound to crash into the minivan and flip it over, said Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan.

Police said the man and a 23-year-old Evanston woman, who was a passenger in the minivan, were both taken to Presence Saint Francis Hospital to be treated for their reports of minor head, neck and back pain. The other driver was not injured, Dugan said.

The minivan driver was issued a ticket for failure to yield a left turn.
