Two people injured in accident on Oak Orchard Road

By Howard B. Owens

A driver at the intersection of North Byron Road and Oak Orchard Road thought it was a four-way stop yesterday, so she proceeded across Oak Orchard Road, where her car was struck by a southbound car.

Two people suffered minor injuries in the accident. Both were transported to UMMC.

Eleanor M. Hart, 75, of 4991 Watson Road, Elba, was the driver of the second car, the one southbound on Oak Orchard. She suffered a neck injury.

One of her passengers, Burton E. Hart, 75, suffered a hip/upper leg injury.

The driver of the first vehicle, Lorraine J. Spotts, 50, of 4415 Hogmire, Avon, was uninjured in the crash.

Hart had two other passengers in her car and neither were injured: Frank Neindorf, 78, and Monica Neindorf, 72.

The accident occurred at 5:21 p.m. yesterday.

The accident was investigated by Deputy Tim Wescott.
