Emergency personnel examine the wreck of Honda Pilot SUV east of Clarendon Monday morning after an Amarillo family walked away from the accident with only minor injuries. Department of Public Safety Trooper Lynn Mays said the accident was caused by Taylor Ann Polster of Denton, who was eastbound in the right hand lane of US 287 driving a Ford Focus, when she came up on a pickup driving slowly and switched lanes unsafely. Claudia Garcia, driving the Honda in the left hand lane, was forced to swerve to avoid a collision with Polster, went off the road, came back on the road and then off again, and overcorrected resulting in the SUV rolling over. Garcia and her two children were wearing seatbelts. She and one child suffered minor injuries, and all three were transported by Associated Ambulance Authority to Childress Regional Medical Center. Mays said a citation was issued to Polster. Enterprise Photo / Morgan Bebout
