A Sunday afternoon collision on West Oak Street sent a 19-year-old Palestine man to a Tyler hospital, where he was treated and released.

At 3:42 p.m., Palestine police responded to an accident in the 2100 block of Evergreen Street and West Oak Street, near Sanderson Farms' entry road.

A 1995 black Chevrolet C1500 traveled southeast on Evergreen. A 2007 black Dodge Ram 1500 traveled southwest in the 4800 block of West Oak Street in the inside lane.

The Chevrolet, driven by 19-year-old Jaylon Rashod Owens, pulled out in front of another vehicle turning on Evergreen Street. The driver of the Dodge, 44-year-old Bridget Ebach Alsobrook, could not stop before colliding with Owens' vehicle.

Owens was taken by ambulance to Palestine Regional Medical Center, where he was treated and released.
