Two people were injured Tuesday when a Dodge Durango and grey Acura collided at the intersection of Shuping Mill and Old Beatty Ford roads.

Rockwell resident and driver of the Durango Kevin Murray, 25 was issued a citation for failing to yield for right of way as a result of the accident, Carpenter said. Murray, who was traveling north on Shuping Mill Road, refused treatment at the scene.
