Two Baxter County men suffered what were termed suspected minor injuries from a two-vehicle accident Sunday afternoon. Thirty-seven-year-old James Barnes of Mountain Home and 54-year-old Dempsy Thompson of rural Norfork were transported by ambulance to Baxter Health.
According to the report from the Mountain Home Police Department, Thompson was on Charles Blackburn Drive attempting to cross the Sheid-Hopper Bypass with a green light. A vehicle on the bypass, driven by Barnes, reportedly failed to stop at the red light and struck Thompson’s vehicle on the driver’s side rear panel. Barnes was cited for failure to stop at a red light.
Damage to each vehicle was estimated at $10,000 following the 12:59 p.m. accident.
