A collision near the downtown area resulted in minor injuries for two motorists last week.
It took emergency crews a short time to arrive at the collision scene Wednesday, Nov. 5 at the intersection of 53 Avenue and 51 Street involving a 2007 Hyundai Tuscan and a 1999 Dodge Caravan.
Police say the driver of the Hyundai, a 60-year-old woman from Ponoka, stopped at the Stop sign, then proceeded onto the road but not when it was safe to do so. Her Tuscan collided with the Caravan resulting in the Tuscan flipping upside down.
The matter is still under investigation.
