September 26th, 2015 by admin

A two-vehicle accident resulted in damage but no injuries in Montgomery County on Friday.  The Red Oak Police Department reports the accident occurred at 12:54pm Friday at the intersection of Highway 34 and Eastern Avenue.

After investigation it was determined that a 2003 Chevy Trailblazer driven by 86-year-old Bruce Jackson Burr of Red Oak was traveling on Eastern Avenue waiting to cross US Highway 34.  Burr proceeded to cross but misjudged the distance away from an oncoming 1999 Chevy Tahoe traveling eastbound on the highway.  The driver of the Tahoe 21-year-old Dillion Terry Makenzie of Red Oak tried to swerve to avoid a collision but collided with a luggage tow rack that was attached to the hitch of the Trailblazer.

No injuries were reported and Bruce Jackson Burr was cited for Failure to Yield Upon Entering a Through Highway.  Damage to the Tahoe was estimated at $3500.  The Trailblazer sustained $2,000 damage.
