The Cruiser traveled off the right side of the road and came to rest in a ditch, according to a preliminary investigation.

Edwin Knaff, 71 of West Alexandria, and two others were in the Cruiser. Medics transported them to Wayne HealthCare with injuries.

Russel Garber, 89 of Greenville, drove the gold Chrysler and was treated and released from the scene. He was also cited for failure to yield when making a left turn.
