A silver Mitsubishi Montero Sport and a lime green Kia Soul compact hatchback met in an unfortunate way on south U.S. 87 close to Wall in front of the Allsup’s convenience store, crumpling the front ends of both vehicles.

Wall Volunteer Fire Department responded immediately to the accident, along with the Tom Green County Sheriff’s Department and the Texas DPS.

I think that if someone fails to yield the right of way, and "causes and accident" the citation should reflect that. Like the fine ins 10x higher or even jail. Man, this town....I wonder sometimes...
