Donny and Rhonda Koonce of Grand Saline were treated at Corby-Germany Hospital and transferred to Medical Center Hospital in Tyler in fair condition. Roland Kuykendall was treated at Corby Germany and released. Patrolman Dan Higdon cited a ticket to Kuykendall’s parents for allowing a minor to operate a vehicle without a license. Poor visibility and road conditions were blamed for the near head on collision at a hill crest with both vehicles yielding as far as possible within the narrow road.
