CAR FLIPS

[December 2] A Murietan escaped serious injury Saturday afternoon after she drove her white Chevy Trailblazer into the back of a parked truck and the SUV flipped on its side. The accident occurred shortly after 2 p.m. on Reynosa Drive across from Riverview Park. CHP and Security officers on the scene attributed the cause of the accident to inattentive driving. The driver, whose name was not released, was described as "shaken up" but not visibly injured. She was taken to Kaiser South by Fire Station 59 emergency medical personnel. Ralph Swasey said he had parked his half-ton 2004 Chevy Silverado pick-up truck on the street so the gardener could blow the leaves off his driveway. Security officers directed traffic at the scene as a constant stream of children on bikes and scooters, dogwalkers, and parents pushing strollers headed to and from the park.
