The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office says no injuries were reported following a collision Tuesday evening, in Elliott. The accident happened a little before 6-p.m. at 110th and Elm Streets. Officials say one vehicle was stopped in the westbound lane and preparing to turn left to head south, when the second vehicle struck the first from behind. Deputies determined the second driver was distracted by the use of their cell phone, prior to the collision. Because both drivers were minors, their names were withheld by the Sheriff’s Department.

Authorities remind drivers to “please don’t use your handheld devices while driving, and to always remain aware of your fellow travelers and yourselves.”
