The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office reports two people were injured Friday afternoon during a collision in Stanton. Officials say 97-year old Elsie V. Johnson, of Stanton, and her passenger, 71-year old John D. Johnson, also of Stanton, were transported to the Montgomery County Memorial Hospital for treatment of minor injuries.

The accident happened as Elsie Johnson was traveling south in the 200 block of Eastern Avenue in a 2002 Dodge Intrepid, and accelerated instead of braking. Her car hit the rear of a legally parked 1997 Ford F-250 pickup registered to Norman Larson, of Stanton. The force of the impact caused the pickup top be shoved into a legally parked 1983 Chevy Caprice registered to Mildred Larson, of Stanton.

The accident happened at around 2:50-p.m. Damage from the collisions amounted to $6,300. Elsie Johnson was cited for Failure to Maintain Control, and No Valid Insurance. Montgomery County Sheriff’s Deputies were assisted at the scene by Stanton and Red Oak Fire and Rescue personnel.
