One person was transported to the Cass County Memorial Hospital following an accident Thursday evening, in Atlantic. Atlantic Police Sgt. Dustin Pieken told KJAN News the female driver of a Chevy Equinox, later identified as Virginia Thomas, was traveling south on Hickory Street next to Rancho Grande, and had pulled around a parked semi that was in the southbound lane while delivering produce to the restaurant. When she came to the intersection with 7th Street, Thomas pulled out into the intersection, and was struck by a westbound Buick LeSabre driven by Beth Tarr. The accident happened at around 7:37-p.m.

Tarr was transported to CCMH by Medivac for treatment of injuries that were unknown, but did not appear to be life threatening. Thomas also was taken to CCMH by private vehicle for unknown injuries.

Both vehicles were towed from the scene. Thomas was cited for Failure to Stop/Yield at a Stop Sign.
