Three people from Warsaw were injured Sunday afternoon in a two-vehicle crash in Elkhart County.
According to an Elkhart County Sheriff’s Office crash news release, at about 4:16 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 8, a 2007 GMC Yukon, driven by Za Quan Green, 22, Elkhart, was traveling east on CR 42 approaching the Ind. 19 intersection, while a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze, driven by Dulce Borja, 19, Warsaw, was going south on Ind. 19 approaching the CR 42 intersection.
Green disregarded the stop sign while continuing east as the Cruze crossed the intersection, the release states. The front-end of the Cruze made impact with the Yukon’s driver side.
The impact caused both vehicles to go off-road on the southeast side of the intersection.
Dulce Borja reported injuries to the left hip, left wrist and right ankle and suffered cuts to the head.
Guadalupe Borja, 55, Warsaw, a passenger in the Cruze, complained of injuries to the neck, ribs, chest and both legs. Juan Borja, 52, Warsaw, also a passenger in the Cruze, complained of pain all over his body.
All three of the Borjas were taken to the Elkhart General Hospital by responding medics for their complaints of pain and injuries suffered, according to the release.
Green was not injured, but was cited for a learner permit violation, disregarding a stop sign causing bodily injury and operating a motor vehicle without financial responsibility.
Everyone involved in the accident were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash, according to the report.
The Cruze sustained heavy front-end damage and the Yukon sustained heavy all-over damage.
