(ABC 6 News) – Two drivers face possible drug charges following a crash early Tuesday morning.

According to Rochester police, a 20-year-old woman in a Pontiac sedan was turning left from 52 to 19th street at about 1:20 a.m. Tuesday, May 16.

According to Minnesota traffic cams, a 20-year-old man on a Yamaha moped allegedly ran a light and crashed into her car.
