The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office reports one person was hurt during a collision Tuesday afternoon. Janet Scuturio, of Corning, a passenger in her vehicle driven by 16-year old Ronnie Collins, also of Corning, was transported by Stanton Rescue to the Montgomery County Memorial Hospital for treatment of minor injuries. The accident happened at around 3:25-p.m. Authorities say a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix owned by Shelly Graham, of Stanton, and driven by 16-year old Slade Graham, also of Stanton, was stopped at the northbound stop sign at O Avenue and Highway 34. As the teen proceeded northbound, he noticed a 2002 Ford Taurus driven by Ronnie Collins, traveling east on Highway 34.
When the Grand Prix’ brakes failed, the car rolled into the path of the Taurus, and was struck broadside. Damage from the collision amounted to $7,000. Montgomery County Deputies were assisted at the scene by Stanton and Red Oak Fire, Stanton Rescue, and the Montgomery County Emergency Management Agency. No citations were issued.
