(Update) — The Atlantic Police Department reports two people were injured in a two vehicle accident in Atlantic this (Monday) morning. Officials say a vehicle driven by Larry Shafer, of Atlantic, was traveling eastbound on 7th Street approaching Linn, at about the same time Debra Frazier, of Atlantic, was traveling west on 7th Street.

Shafer’s vehicle crossed the center line into the turning lane and continued eastbound across the turning lane into the westbound lane, where it hit the front driver’s side bumper of Frazier’s vehicle.

Authorities say Shafer refused treatment at first, but was later transported to the hospital to be checked out for what were considered to be non-life threatening injuries. Frazier was also transported to Cass County Memorial Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.

Atlantic Police cited Shafer for failure to maintain control and not wearing a seat belt. Frazier was cited for driving while suspended and for having no proof of liability insurance.
