Two people injured in Thursday crash on Bonniebrook Road

Two people involved in a head-on vehicle crash at 1:36 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 2, on Bonniebrook Road were taken to hospitals to be treated for injuries.

State police said Toni Yakemik, 38, of Avonmore, the passenger of a Toyota RAV4, was taken from the crash by air rescue to a hospital for treatment on a suspected serious injury to her left leg. The driver, Pamela Yakemik, 61, of Avonmore, was not injured. The driver of the other vehicle, a Dodge Challenger, William Shick, 70, of Butler, was also transported by ambulance to a hospital for suspected minor injury.

Police said the RAV4 was traveling north on Bonniebrook Road and did not stop at a stop sign at its intersection with Great Belt Road, where the Challenger was making a left turn from Great Belt onto Bonniebrook. The RAV4 took heavy damage to its front end after it struck the Challenger, which also took damage to its passenger side hood, wheel and door.

Both vehicles were towed from the scene, according to state police.
