Mishap Sends Spencer Woman To Hospital

November 22, 2014

(Spencer)—A two-vehicle collision Monday at the intersection of Grand Avenue and West First Street in Spencer sent one person to the hospital.

The Spencer Police Department says 81-year-old Shirley Woodford of Spencer was northbound in the inside lane of Grand Avenue and was turning west onto First Street when she turned into path of a southbound vehicle driven by 32-year-old Melinda Batien of Hartley.

Woodford was taken to Spencer Hospital with non-incapacitating injuries; possible injuries were reported to Batien who didn’t seek immediate treatment.

3,500-dollars in damage was estimated to a 1995 Buick driven by Woodford and to a 1994 Oldsmobile driven by Batien.

Woodford was cited for failure to yield.

The collision took place around 5:17 p.m.
