Rockford Police are investigating a multi-car crash at Mulford and Spring Creek.

UPDATE*
Authorities say 79-year-old Ralph Hutson of Rockford was the man killed at the intersection of Spring creek and Mulford just before two this afternoon. Police say he was in the left turn lane on Mulford when he was struck by another car heading East on Spring Creek. Three people inside that car were taken to Swedish American Hospital. Witnesses described it as a scary situation.

"My car shook as the gold car went flying past me. So it was a little scary because if he was about 5 feet over it probaly would have been me laying there instead of that poor guy." said Tanya Homeke a witness to this afternoon's accident.
