Two people suffered possible injuries this week when the vehicles they were traveling in collided at a rural intersection near Chelsea in Tama County.

Authorities say Ashton Hicks of Montezuma as driving north on Tama County Road V18 when she collided with a vehicle operated by Amy Demeulenaere of Chelsea, which was traveling eastbound on County Road R66.

The impact caused both vehicles to leave the roadway and enter the ditch before coming to rest.

Both drivers were taken to an area hospital by a private vehicle with possible injuries.

Hicks was cited by law enforcement for failing to yield the right of way.
