The preliminary investigation revealed a silver Nissan Altima, operated by 22-year-old Emilia Cano Mateo of Union City, Indiana, was stopped at a posted stop sign on Children’s Home Bradford Road.
Mateo proceeded westbound into the intersection, traveling into the pathway of a northbound Maroon Honda Odyssey, operated by 60-year-old Lisa Mayo of Versailles.
Mayo struck Mateo, causing Mateo’s vehicle to spin 90 degrees, going off the road to the right, striking a ditch/culvert before coming to rest.
Mayo was taken to Wayne Hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Mateo refused treatment on scene and was issued a citation for Operating a Vehicle without a Valid License and Failure to Yield at a Stop Sign.
The crash remains under investigation by the Darke County Sheriff’s Office.
