A DRIVER was taken to Morris Hospital following an accident at Pine Bluff and Will Roads about 6:10 a.m. Tuesday.

Gary Hunt, 48, Morton, complained of neck and shoulder pain. He was taken to the hospital by Coal City Ambulance.

The other driver, Thomas Hovel, 46, 6330 Peart Road, was cited for not having proof of insurance. He was released on an I bond with a Nov. 18 court date.

Hovel told Deputy Kenneth Unland he was eastbound on Pine Bluff Road, east of Will Road, when he slowed for a stopped vehicle. In slowing, the Lumina driven by Hovel went on to the shoulder and he lost control.

The car crossed into the westbound lane and stuck the left front of the Ford Edge driven by Hunt.
