By Howard B. Owens

A driver whose car was hit on the driver's side at the intersection of Route 98 an Batavia-Elba Townline Road was treated and released for her injuries at Erie County Medical Center yesterday.

Jennifer M. Olsen, 24, of 8042 Allegheny Road, Corfu, was taken by Mercy Flight to ECMC following the 4:32 p.m. accident.

The other driver, Rachel J. Lombard, 39, of 237 S. Main St., Albion, was also injured. She was taken to UMMC by Mercy EMS.

Deputy Matt Butler investigated the accident and concluded that Olsen, who was eastbound on Batavia-Elba Townline Road, stopped at the stop sign, but then proceeded into the intersection. Her 2007 Ford sedan was struck by a 1997 Buick sedan driven by Lombard.

Olsen was cited for alleged failure to yield right of way at a stop sign.
