PHOTO BY JIM LOWE Traffic Officer Dean Werlinger gathers information for a report, while firemen J.P. Harris and Josh Straley attend to an accident victim Friday. A two-vehicle collision early Friday afternoon near the Hancock Park entrance sent two people to Rollins Brook Community Hospital. The accident occurred at 1:08 p.m.

Traffic Officer Dean Werlinger of the Lampasas Police Department gave the following account.

A 1997 Nissan Sentra driven by Jessica Holt was westbound on E.E. Ohnmeiss Drive when it came to the intersection of Ohnmeiss Drive and U.S. Highway 281 South.

Ms. Holt stated that she stopped at a stop sign, as she was preparing to turn south onto U.S. 281. Ms. Holt said when she pulled out into the intersection, she did not see a southbound 2008 Ford Expedition driven by Donna Benton.

Ms. Holt and a right front passenger in the Sentra, Amanda Dawson, were taken by Capital Ambulance to Rollins Brook for treatment.

Mrs. Benton, a friend and six girls were headed to a movie in Marble Falls at the time of the accident.

Police cited the driver of the Sentra for failing to yield the right of way at the stop sign.

The four-door Nissan was totaled, while Mrs. Benton's vehicle sustained considerable damage to its front end.

Lampasas Fire Marshal Reece Oestreich, Chief of Police Tim Angermann and Assistant Chief of Police Sammy Bailey assisted Werlinger at the accident scene.
