None injured in two-vehicle wreck

None injured in two-vehicle wreck

 

A collision between two pickup trucks slowed traffic on Bridge Access Road Tuesday afternoon when one driver failed to yield to another.

Neither of the two people involved were injured during the accident at the intersection of Bridge Access Road and Beaver Loop Road, though one of the drivers was taken to Central Peninsula Hospital for a “cautionary” check, said Sgt. Jay Sjogren.

Two Kenai Police Department vehicles responded to the scene at approximately 5:13 p.m., and Sjogren had to slow cars down, but traffic never came to a halt, he said.

“Basically, one of the drivers failed to yield while making a left turn off of Bridge Access,” Sjogren said.

Kenai officers were only at the scene for about 45 minutes, he said.
