Two motorists are going to recover from injuries sustained after a nasty car crash in rural DeWitt County Tuesday morning.

DeWitt County Sheriff Jered Shofner indicates at approximately 4 am Tuesday morning, two motorists traveling at high rates of speed were essentially involved in a t-bone accident at an intersection in rural DeWitt County. He says it could have been a lot worse than it was.

Sheriff Shofner indicates each time of the year, there seems to always be some sort of hazards when driving in rural areas. He says it comes down to giving yourself a few extra minutes when you're driving.

The accident occured at the Corner of Friends Ceek Road and Airport Road, in southeast DeWitt County.

Kelly Chick, 54, of Argenta was ticketed with failure to yield.

Christopher Crispin, 34, Clinton was eastbound on Airport Road when Chick ran through a yield sign striking Crispin's vehicle.

Both vehicles sustained significant damage and both drivers were transported from the scene.
