New
intersection claims first accident
The new alternate
route through Sisters claimed its first accident last week.
Fortunately, nothing more
than metal was crunched in the non-injury accident, but it served as a
public reminder that Barclay Drive is now a through street and Pine Street
now has a stop sign.
According to Deschutes County
Sheriff's Deputy Allan Borland, Traci Tandy was driving her 1996 Ford
Windstar eastbound on Barclay Drive when she T-boned a 1983 Ford Ranger
pickup driven by Manuel Menendez Valdovinos.
Valdovinos was driving southbound
on North Pine Street and was cited for running the new stop sign.
Both drivers are Sisters residents.
"People need to be aware of
the new intersection," said Deputy Borland. "He (Valdovinos) wasn't even
aware the stop sign was there. However, it is very well marked, and that's
why he received a citation.
"He was just traveling the
way that he's used to traveling," Borland said. "People are creatures
of habit." |
