Lincoln Police Department reports for Monday, May 4

Accident on April 24 at 8:49 a.m.; on Woodlawn Road at Taylor Court

--Elaine C. Clark, 31-year-old female, Lincoln; 2003 Honda Odyssey EXL

--Walter H. Sablotny III, 35-year-old male, Lincoln; 1994 Dodge Shadow

Sablotny stated that he was eastbound in the outside lane and stopped at the stoplight at the intersection of Woodlawn Road and Taylor Court. Sablotny looked in his mirror and saw Clark approaching his vehicle from behind, also in the outside lane, at a high rate of speed. Sablotny did not believe Clark was going to stop, so he started to move, planning to make a right-hand turn onto Taylor Court. Sablotny was unable to make his turn, and Clark slammed into the rear of his vehicle, causing it to spin, coming to rest facing westbound on the shoulder.

Sablotny, Clark and a 2-year-old from Clark's vehicle were all taken by ambulance to Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital. Sablotny was treated and later released. The 2-year-old was not injured and was released to family. Clark was admitted for monitoring.

Clark was issued a citation for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident, with a mandatory court date June 2. She was not interviewed due to her medical condition.
