Three Strathmore residents, including two children, were injured in an accident last week.

The accident occurred at 11:30 a.m. May 5 at Avenue 182 at Road 224 (Westwood Avenue) just south of Strathmore, according to the California Highway Patrol.

A 2001 Chevrolet was traveling westbound on Avenue 182 when it pulled out in front of a 1999 Oldsmobile traveling southbound on Road 224. The driver of the Oldsmobile attempted to swerve but did not have enough time to avoid the collision. The front end of the Oldsmobile hit the right side of the Chevrolet.

The Chevrolet had come to a complete stop before entering the intersection but then pulled out in front of oncoming traffic which did not have a stop. There are stop signs on Avenue 182 but not on Road 224.

The driver of the Chevrolet, 26-year-old Yvette Sevilla of Strathmore, had major injuries. Two passengers in her car, two, 1-year-old boys, had minor injuries. All three were taken by ambulance to Sierra View District Hospital in Porterville. The driver of the Oldsmobile and his passenger were not injured in the crash. All those involved were wearing seat belts or in car seats.
