BARSTOW, CA : Councilwoman in crash on April, Wednesday 26th 2017

City Councilwoman Carmen Hernandez and her husband Mike were involved in a minor traffic collision on Wednesday, and a Desert Dispatch employee who was taking pictures of another event nearby captured the scene.

According to Assistant City Manager Cindy Prothro, neither Hernandez nor her husband suffered serious injuries.

Hernandez complained that her knee hurt, according to those on scene, but Prothro said the couple declined medical transport. However, they were taken to their home, as their car sustained too much damage to be able to be driven safely.

The other car involved sustained minor damage, according to eyewitnesses. A Barstow Fire Protection District engine responded and personnel took part in the cleanup.

The Barstow Police Department is investigating the collision, Prothro said.
