63-year-old Kathleen Porath, who was driving a 2003 Saturn SUV south on Eighth Street at about 2:30 p.m. Saturday, was injured after her vehicle was struck by a 1997 Dodge being driven west on Solana Road by 47-year-old Phillip Huckabay.
Huckabay was cited for careless driving.
And a four-vehicle accident just moments later on Pine Street resulted in all four drivers being cited.
The accident occurred at about 3 p.m. Saturday near Pine and Platinum when a 2006 Pontiac four-door being driven west on Pine by 24-year-old Daniel Tapia attempted to overtake a 1984 Lincoln four-door being driven west on Pine by 49-year-old Gilbert Martinez.
Tapia’s vehicle clipped Martinez’s vehicle, which caused Tapia’s vehicle to spin out of control and hit a light pole.
A 2012 Nissan four-door being driven by 20-year-old Annabelle Ortiz stopped in the driving lane as the accident was occurring, and was struck by a 2013 Chevrolet four-door being driven by 18-year-old Sara Trujillo.
Tapia was cited for a driving violation, Martinez was cited for no insurance, and both Ortiz and Trujillo were cited for following too closely.
Only minor injuries were reported by the four drivers.
