A two vehicle crash in Greene County resulted in minor injuries and severe vehicle damage in Greene County Wednesday afternoon.

Greene County Sheriff Steve Haupert says the accident happened at the controlled intersection of 130th Street and L Avenue shortly before 3pm.  A 16 year-old female from Churdan was heading north on L Avenue when she failed to stop at a stop sign and her 2000 Chevrolet Blazer collided with a 1998 Nissan Maxima that was heading east on 130th Street.

The crash forced the Blazer into the northeast ditch and the Nissan remained on the roadway.  Haupert notes that the female and the driver of the Nissan, 36 year-old Jacob Dennis Smith of Paton, were transported to Greene County Medical Center by Churdan Rescue with minor injuries.  He adds that they were both wearing their seat belts at the time of the accident and airbags in both vehicles deployed, which prevented either driver from sustaining more serious injuries.

Both vehicles were total losses and the female minor was issued a citation for failure to obey a stop sign.
