KPD investigators say one of the vehicles pictured (quite possibly the truck, from the damage sustained by both) ran the stop sign and plowed into the other, sending it rolling into a nearby yard.

One of the drivers had to be extricated from their vehicle and was taken to a nearby hospital for more evaluation, but no word of any serious injuries. KPD says no evidence of any impairment by either driver.
