One Injured in San Angelo Two-Vehicle Crash on Sherwood Way

San Angelo, Texas – One person was injured on Friday in a two-vehicle crash in San Angelo, according to the police.

The crash happened on March 22, in the 5500 block of Sherwood Way near ongoing roadwork.

Police said traffic cones on the eastbound lanes diverted traffic into the far-right lane. When vehicles came to a stop at a nearby intersection, the driver of a silver Honda was somewhat distracted looking at some signage on the road. This caused the driver to fail to control the car’s speed and rear-end a white Lincoln.

The Honda driver was taken to Shannon Medical Center with minor injuries. 

The driver of the Lincoln was allowed to leave the scene.

The Honda driver was issued a warning for failure to control speed.

The police are investigating the crash.
