Tuesday 11:30 a.m. update     According to Hays Police Department Lt. Brandon Wright, “On Monday at 4:20 PM, emergency responders were dispatched to an accident at 13th and Hall.  Officers found two cars with extensive front end damage blocking the intersection.  The investigation indicated a Chevy Cavalier driven by Brittney Jacobs, 22, Hays, had been south bound on Hall and failed to yield the right of way when it turned left at 13th St.  The Cavalier struck a northbound Nissan Sentra driven by Shellby Beaman, 20, Hays.  Beaman and a 10 year old female passenger from the Cavalier were transported code yellow to Hays Medical Center by Ellis County EMS.  Both vehicles were towed from the scene.

Many serious accidents are caused by failing to yield the right of way while turning left across lanes of oncoming traffic.  The injuries in this accident could have been much worse if it weren’t for the occupant safety devices in use.  All 3 occupants in these two vehicles were wearing seatbelts, and the airbags deployed in both vehicles as well.”

4:46 p.m. Another injured person is being transported to the hospital.  We will report more information as it becomes available.

4:42 p.m. One seriously injured person is being transported to Hays Medical Center.

4:31 p.m.  A Nissan and a Chevy both have extensive front end damage. A second ambulance had been dispatched to the scene.
