Both occupants of a car that missed the stop sign at the end of Baldridge Lane and drove into trees on the other side of Mills Cart Road escaped with only minor injuries.   The intersection is located at the back entrance to the Salem Walmart store.

The Marion County Sheriff’s Department reports that both the 16-year-old male driver from Vandalia and the 18-year-old passenger, Deon Moore of North 1150th Street in Vandalia, were able to get out of the vehicle on their own.

The Salem Fire Protection District was called to assist.  United Medical Response checked both teens who signed refusals for hospital treatment.

The crash was reported at ten on Thursday night.
