Southbound traffic on 441 near Roger Williams Road was blocked for about an hour yesterday morning due to a two-car accident that sent five people to Orange County Medical Center. Four separate citations were issued, according to Apopka Police reports.
Rachael Criswell was driving north on 441 around 8:00 AM and turned left to enter the parking lot of Trinity Baptist Church. The right rear corner of her car was struck by a vehicle driven by Tiffany Hutchens traveling south on 441.
Hutchens' car overturned on 441 while Criswell's car spun onto the entrance road of the church.
Hutchens and her two passengers were taken to ORMC by Apopka paramedics along with Criswell's two passengers (ages 3 and 5). No serious injuries were reported.
The APD interviewed Hutchens at ORMC where they learned she had just purchased the vehicle and had not registered it but was using an expired tag from another vehicle. She received three citations; driving with a suspended license, operating an unregistered vehicle and attaching the wrong tag to a vehicle.
Criswell was cited for failure to yield the right of way.
