One person was transported by Red Oak Rescue to the Montgomery County Memorial Hospital following an accident at around 8:20-a.m. today (Wednesday), in Red Oak. Authorities say 27-year old Gregory Eugene Harrold, of Red Oak, suffered what were described as suspected/minor non-incapacitating injuries, when his 2005 Honda Shadow motorcycle collided with a 2010 Ford F-150 pickup driven by 28-year old Karl Luther Renander, of Red Oak. The accident happened at the intersection of Market and 2nd Streets.

Officials say Renander was traveling west on Market Street and stopped at the controlled intersection, but then pulled away from the stop sign into the path of Harrold’s motorcycle, which was traveling north on 2nd Street. Renander was cited for Failure to Obey a Stop Sign and Yield the right of way.

Damage from the collision amounted to $2,500.
