MOULTRIE — Two people, including a 10-year-old boy, had to be extricated from a Ford Mustang following a two-car accident Friday afternoon. Both were taken to Colquitt Regional Medical Center.
In a separate accident, a woman was also taken to Colquitt Regional following a two-car accident Thursday afternoon. She remained in the hospital as of Friday afternoon.
In Friday’s accident, Moultrie Police Officer Scott Yarbrough said the Ford Mustang went through a stop sign at the intersection of Ninth Avenue Northeast and First Street Northeast about 4 p.m. Friday. As the Mustang entered the intersection, it was hit by a GMC Sierra truck, driven by a 16-year-old girl.
The driver and a passenger in the Mustang had to be extricated from the Mustang, Yarbrough said. Two other passengers in the Mustang were able to get out on their own, and the driver was the only person in the Sierra when the accident took place.
Joy Parker, who came upon the accident scene shortly after it happened, said the two people inside the Mustang appeared to be pinned inside. They were conscious and alert following the accident. She said she learned three of those inside were brothers, and the fourth passenger was a relative.
Jimmy Kearsey, who witnessed the accident, said the Mustang turned onto First Street Northeast in front of the Sierra. The Mustang tried to stop but was too far out in the intersection avoid the collision.
“The Mustang tried to stop but the truck hit it with a boom,” Kearsey said.
The names of the people inside the Mustang were not available at the time of report, Yarbrough said. A full report was expected to be available by Monday.
In Thursday’s accident, Annie Keigans, of Norman Park, remains in stable condition at Colquitt Regional following an accident on South Main Street.
Keigans, driving a Ford Expedition, pulled onto South Main Street from an entrance to Sunset Plaza at 3:19 p.m. Thursday. As she got onto South Main Street, her SUV collided with a Toyota Camry, driven by Jennifer Wimberly, of Bob Taylor Road, that was heading north on South Main Street.
Two witnesses reported the Expedition pulled out in front of the Camry, and Keigans was cited for failure to yield while entering a roadway.
Wimberly was not cited nor charged in the accident. The police report said she appeared to have a swollen left eye but was not taken to Colquitt Regional.
