No injuries were reported after a two-vehicle accident at 4:15 p.m. Wednesday along U.S. Route 322 approximately 82 feet west from Liberty Road in Winslow Township, Jefferson County. A vehicle operated by a 17-year-old Brookville male was eastbound when it slowed for a left-hand turn into the Dollar General Store parking lot.
The male failed to observe a vehicle operated by Trisha Hopkins, 31, of DuBois, which was traveling westbound, and started to turn left into the path of the Hopkins vehicle. Hopkins applied her brakes but was unable to avoid striking the male’s vehicle. Her vehicle traveled off the right side, continuing west for approximately 100 feet, where it came to a rest in the parking lot area of Dollar General. The male’s vehicle came to a rest at impact and was driven into the entrance to the parking lot of the store, where it stopped.
Both were wearing their safety belts at the time of the accident.
