The drivers of both cars suffered non-life threatening injuries and were transported to UMMC by ground ambulance.

The accident was investigated by Deputy Brad Mazur.
Come on! How can you not see
Come on! How can you not see another car when they were obviously right there? She was probably talking to someone or texting.
