Athens, TX — December 02, 2022, Ray Kiser and Helen Kiser were injured in a car accident around 10:17 a.m. at E. Tyler St. and Wood St. in Athens.
Authorities report the victims’ westbound Dodge Durango on E. Tyler St. was struck by a Buick Lacrosse traveling southbound on Wood St. when the Lacrosse allegedly ran a red light. Reports indicate the Lacrosse’s front driver-side corner collided with the Durango’s front passenger-side corner.
Ray Kisner reportedly suffered serious injuries, Helen Kiser reportedly suffered minor injuries, and the Lacrosse driver reportedly has possible injuries. All three people were taken to a hospital.
Police recommended charging the Lacrosse driver with disregarding a red light.

While I understand being hit by a vehicle that is running a red light may cause some injuries, the speed limit for Wood St. is only 30 mph. It seems Mr. Kiser should have been able to get up and walk away from this crash, like Ms. Kiser, not suffer incapacitating injuries. It makes me wonder, did the Kiser’s Durango perform as designed in this accident?
