PHOTO BY DAVID LOWE Texas Department of Public Safety trooper Monte Carroll inspects a 2002 Volkswagen Passat involved in a two-vehicle collision Thursday in Kempner. The other vehicle, a 2001 Dodge pickup, already had been moved from the point of impact. A two-vehicle accident Thursday at the intersection of U.S. Highway 190 and Farm-to-Market Road 2313 in Kempner did not cause significant injuries.

At 3 p.m., Ron Bolinsky of Fort Hood stopped in a 2002 Volkswagon Passat at the stop sign on the north side of the intersection. As he attempted to turn left onto U.S. 190, vehicles turning from the north shoulder of the highway onto FM 2313 obscured Bolinsky’s view, said Monte Carroll, the Texas Department of Public Safety trooper who prepared the accident report.

Kenneth D. Sneed of Lampasas, driving west in a 2001 Dodge Ram pickup in the outside lane of U.S. 190, braked but skidded into the left front quarter of the Volkswagen, Carroll said.

Bolinsky was not injured, and Sneed refused transport for medical evaluation, the trooper said.

Along with Carroll, the Kempner Volunteer Fire Department and the Lampasas Sheriff’s Department responded to the collision.
