Deputies said a vehicle driven by 19-year-old Christin Moon of Cunningham failed to yield the right of way as she attempted to turn westbound onto Hwy. 68. A westbound vehicle driven by 42-year-old Shannon Ward of Benton struck Moon's vehicle in the side, then left the roadway and came to rest in a yard.
Moon's vehicle then struck a third vehicle, driven by 35-year-old Anthony Trimmel of Gilbertsville, who was stopped on Hwy. 68 facing east, waiting to turn onto Moors Camp Highway.
Ward's passenger, 39-year-old Beverly Ward of Benton, complained of neck pain and was taken to Marshall County Hospital for treatment. Deputies said Moon was given a preliminary breath test at the scene and it showed a presence of alcohol. Moon was transported to Lourdes Hospital for treatment of her injuries.
