Three people suffered minor injuries in a traffic accident Thursday afternoon on Commerce Avenue.

Police said Evelyn Jennings, 44, of Revis Street was trying to turn left into the Kroger parking lot, but entered the path of a vehicle driven by Katie Nicole Moody, 20, of Douglas Street.

Both drivers and a passenger in Jennings’ vehicle, Sylvia Edmondson, 20, were taken to West Georgia Medical Center for evaluation.

Jennings was cited for failure to yield.

Hit and run

Christina Bell, 27, of Park Place said a white Toyota Camry came out of a parking place at LaGrange Nursing and Rehab on West Point Road and collided with her 2004 Volvo, then fled at a high rate of speed. Damage to the Volvo was estimated at more than $500.

Laughing matter?

A resident of Bell Street said she and her boyfriend argued after she refused to have sex with him. After the argument, she drove him to his house on Murphy Avenue, but the man later returned to her house and slashed all four tires of her car. The woman said he also had been sending her harassing text messages.

Police who spoke to the victim said she “was in no way scared or threatened.”

“She continued to laugh at the whole situation,” saying she needed new tires and the ones that were damaged cost only $25 apiece, police said.
