(Red Oak) One person suffered possible/unknown injuries during a two-vehicle accident in Red Oak, Tuesday afternoon. According to Red Oak Police, the accident happened around 3:33 p.m. at 4th and Oak Streets, as a 1999 Dodge Dakota pickup driven by Jordan Midkiff, of Red Oak, tried to turn left onto Oak Street. Because the sun was glaring in his eyes as he pulled into the intersection, Midkiff didn’t see a 2007 Ford 500 L 4D driven by Jennifer Begay, of Red Oak. Begay was traveling east on Oak Street and turning left onto 4th.

Police say Begay was trapped inside her car, with the passenger airbag deployed. She was extricated by Red Oak firefighters before being transported by Red Oak Rescue to the Montgomery County Memorial Hospital to be checked-out.

Midkiff wasn’t injured. Police cited him for a registration violation, failure to obey a stop sign, failure to yield the right of way, and failure to provide proof of financial liability.

Red Oak Fire and Rescue, Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, Montgomery County Emergency Management, and the Montgomery County Communications Center assisted the Red Oak Police Department.
