Two people were hurt during a rollover accident Friday afternoon, near Red Oak. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office reports the crash happened about 4 miles west of Red Oak on Highway 34, a little after 2:45-p.m. Authorities say German Alvarado-Ramirez, and a passenger in a 2004 Chevy Malibu, Cynthia Wheeler, were transported to Montgomery County Memorial Hospital in Red Oak for treatment of  non-life-threatening injuries. Wheeler was identified as the owner of the vehicle.

Officials say the car was traveling eastbound on Highway 34 when it left the road onto the north shoulder, traveled back to the south shoulder and ended up in the north ditch backwards. The car rolled before it came to rest. Damage to the vehicle was estimated at $5,000.

Authorities cited Alvarado-Ramirez for not having driver’s license, and for no proof of insurance. Additional charges were pending completion of the accident investigation.
