The Atlantic Police Department reports there were no injuries following two recent, separate accidents. Authorities say Mariano Bualuay, of Atlantic, was cited for Failure to Obey a Stop Sign, operating a motor vehicle with an expired license, and Failure to provide proof of insurance, following an accident at around 11-a.m., Friday at 3rd and Linn Streets. Officials say a vehicle driven by Cameron Watkins, of Atlantic, was traveling west on 3rd Street and passing by Linn Street, when Bualuay, who was traveling south on Linn, failed to stop. Damage from the collision amounted to $3,500.

The second accident happened at around 2:30-p.m. Saturday, in the Hy-Vee parking lot. Atlantic Police say a vehicle driven by Melissa Jordan, of Griswold, was traveling north into the parking lot, and attempting to make a left turn. A vehicle driven by Kyle Wilson, of Atlantic, was behind Jordan’s vehicle, also heading north into the parking lot. Due to traffic congestion, Jordan was unable to turn left. She decided to continue north into the parking lot. Wilson saw Jordan was about to turn left and attempted to around her vehicle. At that moment, Jordan continued north and struck the right side of Wilson’s vehicle. Damage from the collision amounted to $2,500. No citations were issued.
