There were no injuries and no citations issued following an accident Wednesday morning, in Red Oak. According to Red Oak Police, vehicles driven by 20-year old Shannon Mae Biggerstaff, of Red Oak, and 81-year old Russell Brink, of Farragut, were headed south in the turning lane, and stopped at the intersection of Broadway and Oak Streets. As an eastbound semi was making a turn northbound, Biggerstaff backed-up her 1994 Chevy pickup to avoid being struck by the semi. In the process, her truck backed into Brink’s 2014 Ford Escape.
Since Biggerstaff’s truck had a hitch on the back, it did not sustain any damage. Brink’s SUV however sustained $2,000 damage during the mishap.
