The Harlan Police Department says no injuries were reported, but two vehicles sustained a total of $6,000 in damage, following a collision at a car wash. The accident happened on Dec. 27th, while a vehicle driven by Richard Ranney, of Harlan, was in the Ultra No Touch Car Wash. The driver of a vehicle in line behind Ranney, Milton Barry, of Harlan, accidentally stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake. His 2016 Buick ran into the rear of Ranney’s 2014 Chevy, pushing the Chevy through the car wash.

The driver of the other vehicle was identified as Dakoda Ball, of Harlan. Damage from the mishap amounted to $1,500 altogether.
