Atwood told Deputy Houghton he had a green light and was proceeding through the intersection when Reynolds turned in front of him and he could not avoid the collision.

Reynolds said he began turning left when he hesitated and then continued, colliding head-on with Atwood.

Both vehicles were towed. Damage was estimated at $5,001-$10,000.

• At 3:20 p.m. on Friday, Herbert Carter, 81, Cloverdale, was southbound on State Road 243 approaching County Road 900 South in a 2006 Saturn Vue. Mark Snow, 52, Fillmore, was northbound in a 2006 Kenworth T80 dump truck registered to Collisi Trucking Services.

As the vehicles entered a curve, they sideswiped one another. At first, Carter told Deputy Lanning that the dump truck entered his lane. He later said they both may have simply been close to the yellow line.

Snow said Carter crossed into his lane. Lanning also found a large amount of ground debris that indicated him leaving the road to avoid the crash.

Stockwell said he was stopped and his passenger, Thomas Archer of Mooresville, exited the vehicle to pick up containers. Archer saw Hanks approaching and realized she was going to rear-end the trash truck, so he ran west from the scene.

Hanks told Capt. Tom Helmer she had noticed someone in the parking lot of the Fillmore store and failed to see the stopped garbage truck, rear-ending the larger vehicle.

Hanks complained of chest and head pain and was checked out by Operation Life. She signed a medical release, with family members saying they would take her to a medical facility.

Damage was estimated at $2,501-$5,000.

After hitting the mailbox the vehicle continued eastbound, hitting and coming to rest on a metal barrier.

The van was towed. Damage was estimated between $5,001-$10,000.
