No major injuries in three-car wreck

By Roger Estlack, Clarendon Enterprise

A local girl came away with only minor injuries after a three-car accident just after noon December 20.

Christine Holden, age 17, was northbound on Koogle Street when southbound Mary Ann Humek of Irving, 29, failed to yield the right of way while attempting to turn left onto Third Street, according to a report from the Donley County Sheriff’s Office.

Humek’s 1990 Ford F-150 struck Holden’s 1999 Pontiac Grand Am in the left front quadrant. Humek in turn was struck from behind by Jeannie Lea Clark, 41, driving a 1995 Lincoln Towncar. Clark was following too close behind Humek, the report said.

Local emergency personnel responded quickly, and Holden was transported by the Associated Ambulance Authority to Northwest Texas Hospital in Amarillo as a precaution. She was treated and released and suffered only minor injuries, her family said.

One citation was issued to Humek as a result of the accident.
