Man seriously injured in Madisonville accident

A man was flown to an area hospital following a two-vehicle accident Wednesday afternoon in Madisonville.

It happened a few minutes after 3 p.m. and a news release from Madisonville police says 43-year old Angela Miller of Madisonville was southbound on Bean Cemetery Road and didn’t see an eastbound SUV driven by 64-year old Pedro Mendoza of Hanson on Rose Creek Road before driving into the intersection.

She struck Mendoza’s SUV on the driver’s side and Mendoza had to be flown by helicopter to another area hospital after initial treatment for serious injuries at Baptist Health Hospital in Madisonville.
