According the Henry County Sheriff’s Office, 29-year-old Israel Jimenez of Washington and 20-year-old Chloe Schlatter of Wayland were both driving eastbound on Highway 78 at about 3:42 p.m. when Jimenez slowed down to turn south on Gabriel Avenue. Schlatter then rear ended Jimenez. Schlatter and Jimenez both suffered minor injuries and each took a private transport to the hospital. They were both wearing seatbelts, and there were no passengers involved. Schlatter was cited for failure to maintain control.
