One person was transported to the Montgomery County Memorial Hospital by private vehicle, Thursday evening, following a collision at the intersection of W. Joy and N. Broadway Streets, in Red Oak. Authorities say 34-year old Brandon Strunk, of Red Oak, complained of ringing in his ear, possibly the result of a side airbag deployment.

Strunk was traveling south in a 2007 Honda Civic, when his car was hit on the driver’s side rear door by a 2007 Chevy Impala. The Impala was driven by 17-year old Ryan Green, of Red Oak. Green told Police he stopped at the intersection headed westbound, but due to the sun being in his eyes, didn’t see the Civic. A witness told Police Green did not properly stop at the intersection before proceeding into it.

The impact spun Strunk’s car around 180-degrees. Damage from the crash amounted to $15,000. Red Oak Police issued Green a warning.
