A two car accident in Brandon this morning, slowed down traffic and sent several people to the hospital with serious injuries. The teen driver of a Geo Metro was cited for failure to stop after going through a stop sign at Splitrock and Aspen Boulevards and was hit by a van. The driver indicated he had been having difficulties with his brakes prior to the accident.

One of the 5 students in the Geo was actually thrown from the vehicle. Three of the other students were taken to the hospital, as was the driver of the van.

Emergency crews re-routed traffic around the accident scene as clean-up continued.

Our own Beth Warden took these pictures this morning.
