Police in Harlan say four people involved in an accident April 26th, and who initially reported no injuries, were later seen by a physician. The accident happened at the intersection of Highway 59 and Lincoln Avenue.

Officials say a 2006 Chevy driven by Roland Wegner, of Harlan, was traveling west on Lincoln Avenue and had stopped at the controlled intersection with Highway 59.  A 2014 Mercedes, driven by Rene Flores, of Denison, was traveling north on Highway 59. When Wegner pulled into the intersection, his vehicle was struck on the right side by the Mercedes.
