An elderly man was injured in a two-vehicle collision Monday at the intersection of U.S. Highway 87 and Farm-to-Market Road 447.
At 10:17 a.m., a maroon Buick Park Avenue was traveling north on U.S. Highway 87 in the outside lane when a blue Chevrolet Silverado pickup westbound from Nursery Drive onto Farm-to-Market Road 447 pulled out from a stop sign, striking the Buick, said Gerald Bryant, Department of Public Safety trooper.
The driver of the Buick, Franklin Schmidt, 75, of Runge, was taken via ambulance to DeTar hospital with lacerations and complaints of chest pain.
Meanwhile, the driver of the Chevrolet, 58-year-old McAllen resident Larry Schuckenbrock, suffered no injuries other than soreness, Bryant said.
Bryant said Schuckenbrock was found at fault for the collision and was issued a citation for failure to yield the right of way at a stop sign intersection.

April 26, 2011 at 8:26 a.m.It is not necessary to say that the "elderly" man did such and such as the age had been listed before. I am not 75 yet but that is not elderly. You don't need to use adjectives to describe someone in an article.
