The Red Oak Police Department believes a medical incident led a man to cross traffic and crash into two parked vehicles on Monday afternoon.  At 2:51pm a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado driven by Richard Leroy Clark of Red Oak was traveling southbound on North Broadway in Red Oak when he crossed two lanes of traffic, jumped a sidewalk, and ran into two parked vehicles in the Kum and Go parking lot.  Clark left the scene of the accident and officers found a license plate at the accident site. Officers then were able to locate Clark and his damaged vehicle at his residence. It is believed Clark suffered a medical incident and alcohol was not a factor.

No one was injured during the incident and Clark was checked out by Red Oak Rescue. Clark was cited for traveling on the wrong side of a two-way highway. The two parked vehicles that were struck suffered a total of $6,000 estimated damage. Clark’s vehicle sustained an estimated $5,000 damage.

Montgomery County Sheriff’s officials and Red Oak Rescue assisted the Red Oak Police with the incident.
