Injury accident in Sedalia
A woman was hurt in a two-vehicle collision in Sedalia at 7:25 a.m. Friday.
A Sedalia Police Department officer responded to South Montgomery Avenue at East 10th Street where Magen R. Read, of Smithton, said another vehicle traveled through the intersection and struck her car, according to an SPD accident report.
Read was traveling north on South Montgomery Avenue when it appeared the second vehicle, driven by Cesilia Vazquez, of the 300 block of North New York Avenue, had slowed. Instead, it came across the intersection and struck the driver-side of Read’s vehicle.
With the help of a family member for translation, Vazquez told the officer she was driving east on East 10th Street and stopped at the stop sign. She said she didn’t see Read’s vehicle, possibly because of sun glare, and continued through the intersection.
Vazquez was unhurt in the accident. Read said she wasn’t wearing a seat belt during the collision and complained of knee pain. The Pettis County Ambulance District took her to a local hospital for evaluation of injuries.
