ATHOL — A 15-year-old girl was transported to Athol Hospital after a two-car collision on Templeton Road at around 6:30 a.m. Saturday.
According to State Trooper William Christie, 57-year-old Christy Thibault of Athol was driving a 2011 Plymouth Neon east on Templeton Road (Route 2A) when she rear-ended a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado. The pickup was stopped at a red light at the base of the Route 2 off-ramp.
State Trooper Christie was the first to respond.
“(The Dodge Neon) rear-ended and went underneath the pickup truck,” Christie said.
Thibault, Christie said, had two passengers in her car, including a 15-year-old female in the front passenger seat who banged her head against the windshield and was taken by a Phillipston ambulance to Athol Hospital.
Thibault, the driver of the pickup, and Thibault’s other passenger were unharmed. The Dodge Neon was towed with extensive damage.
Christie believes Thibault was cited for failure to use care when stopping.
“The driver of the pickup said he saw the vehicle, it never slowed and it just ran into his back end,” Christie said.
