No serious injuries were reported during a collision early Friday afternoon, in Atlantic. Atlantic Police Officer Devin Hogue told KJAN News a line of cars was traveling south on Olive Street approaching the intersection with 7th. When a red Chevy Tahoe slowed for the traffic ahead, it was struck from behind by a blue Ford Focus. The airbag on the car deployed, causing what appeared to be only minor injuries to the female driver. The accident happened at around 1:35-p.m.

No one was initially transported to the hospital. Hogue said if the injuries required attention later, the driver would likely be transported to CCMH by private vehicle. The names of the drivers was not immediately available.

Atlantic Fire and Rescue, Medivac Ambulance, deputies with the Cass County Sheriff’s Office and Atlantic Police assisted at the scene.
