No one reported an injury from a collision at Highway 395 and Johnson Lane around 6:15 p.m. Sunday, though there was a lot of debris on the road. A 4:15 p.m. Saturday collision on Mottsville Lane at Mott Court saw both occupants refuse treatment.
After Friday night’s head-on collision, things settled down on the roads a bit, but today will be a big travel day as folks return home, so be careful out there.
