An accident last Friday (9-19) left two vehicles damaged and may have injured a local woman. In a report released the other day, Taylorville Police say they were called to the intersection of Cheney Street and Park Avenue about a collision. 72 year-old Jean Scallions of Taylorville was reportedly stopped waiting for traffic in her 2001 Honda Odyssey when she was rear-ended by a vehicle being driven by 49 year-old Marcy Montgomery of Taylorville.
Montgomery's vehicle was towed from the scene. Scallions reportedly told officers she had a sore neck and would seek medical treatment on her own.
Police say Montgomery was issued a citation for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident.
