Sudden turn injures two in Cheney

Two people were injured last Tuesday evening in a two-car collision on the 2600 block of First Street in Cheney.

The collision took place around 7:30 p.m. when a vehicle northbound on First Street entered the center lane to make a left turn into the Taco Bell as a second vehicle entered the city southbound. According to the police report, the driver of the first vehicle was waiting for the second vehicle to pass, but then elected to make the turn too soon and was struck by the second vehicle.

Both occupants of the second vehicle were transported via ambulance to Spokane Valley Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries. The driver of the first vehicle was cited for failure to yield the right of way.
