A two-vehicle accident injured the drivers of both vehicles about noon today, sending one to Crittenden Hospital and another by PHI helicopter to another regional hospital.According to Marion Police Chief Ray O'Neal, the driver of a truck, Amanda Kennedy Waters, swerved to miss another vehicle making a left turn into Health Quest Wellness Center on South Main Street in Marion. However, O'Neal said, she side-swiped the passenger car before entering a deep ditch and striking a pole.
At the scene, the truck lay on its side with the topped ripped off by Crittenden Rescue Squad in order to extricate Waters. The extent of her injuries are unknown at this time. A child's seat was setting outside of the truck, but O'Neal said there were no passengers with Waters.
The name of the man driving the other vehicle was not immediately available; neither was information about his injuries.
