Crash Damages Umatilla City Hall

    One person was transported from the scene with reportedly minor injuries after a three-vehicle crash on Friday evening that also involved damage to Umatilla City Hall.  The incident occurred just after 5 p.m. at the intersection of Cassady Street and SR 19 when a vehicle attempted to cross oncoming traffic, was struck, veered into another vehicle, and carried on to make impact with the northwest corner of city hall.
    Umatilla Police Reports state a 2009 Chevy Silverado truck driven by Troy Wilson of Umatilla was southbound on SR 19 and attempting to turn east onto Cassady Street.  The truck traveled into the path of a 2001 Chevrolet Suburban driven by Pamela Shifflett of Umatilla, which was northbound on SR 19.  The Suburban struck the truck, driving it into a stationary GMC Sierra driven by Alberto Nevarez of Eustis, which was westbound on Cassady Street. The truck then continued on until it made contact with city hall.
    Shifflett was transported to AdventHealth Waterman, and Wilson was placed under arrest for driving with license suspended habitual.
