Officials with the Atlantic Police Department today (Thursday), released the details about two, non-injury accidents that took place Wednesday. The first happened a little after Noon, on Highway 6 and 10th Street, as a vehicle driven by Nicole Anaya, of Atlantic, was at the stop sign and waiting for traffic to pass so she could pull out onto the Highway. A vehicle driven by Caitie Boes, of Atlantic, was behind Anaya’s vehicle. When Anaya started to pull away from the intersection but then stopped for more traffic, Boes proceeded forward but hit the gas instead of the brake pedal, which resulted in the collision. No citations were issued. Damage from the mishap amounted to $2,500.

And, a little after 1-p.m., Wednesday, a vehicle driven by Robert Straka, of Atlantic, was westbound on 7th Street, while a vehicle driven by Phyllis Fett, of Adair was southbound on Linn Street. A third vehicle, driven by Corinna Morehouse, of Prescott, was eastbound on 7th Street. Fett’s vehicle entered the intersection from a stop sign and hit the vehicle driven by Straka. Morehouse swerved to miss the accident but hit the east curb on Linn Street. No one required medical attention. Damage from the accident amounted to $9, 500. Phyllis Fett was cited for Failure to Obey a Stop sign.
