Collision causes traffic congestion on Hobbs Drive

ALPENA, Mich — Earlier yesterday afternoon an accident on Hobbs Drive caused traffic congestion in the area.

At around noon a person pulling out of the Meijer parking lot failed to yield and hit an oncoming car.

The at-fault driver was turning east on Hobbs and according to State Trooper Jason Kunath, the driver’s carelessness may be what caused the collision.

Kunath also said only one of the cars were towed.

While these drivers were lucky, Kunath wants to leave us with a reminder to drive cautiously.

He also said both parties involved were checked out at the scene with minor injuries and a possible citation may be issued.
