ST. GEORGE – An 18-year-old woman was transported to the hospital by ambulance Thursday afternoon after being injured in a collision which was reportedly caused by her running a stop sign.
At about 3 p.m., a woman was driving a 1998 Honda Civic east on 300 South Street, St. George Police Officer Lona Trombley said, when she collided with a 2000 Ford Excursion traveling north on Main Street.
“The driver of the Honda Civic ran a stop sign, causing the accident,” Trombley said, adding that police gave her a citation for not yielding at the stop sign.
The woman injured was not wearing a seat belt, Trombley said. No airbags deployed in either vehicle likely because the vehicles are older.
The Ford Excursion driver was a woman in her mid-30s, Trombley said, and she was able to drive her vehicle from the scene.
The Honda Civic sustained heavy front-end damage and had to be towed.
St. George Police and Fire departments and Gold Cross Ambulance responded to the incident.

How does someone miss a stop sign crossing Main Street?
Some people really need to start paying attention. Next time it might be a child crossing the street that gets hit.
