Two Hurt In Jeep Versus Pedestrian Accident

Sonora, CA — The Sonora Police Department has been investigating a crash at a local shopping center.

It happened over the weekend at the eastern entrance/exit of the Sonora Plaza on Mono Way. The Police Department reports that 54-year-old Diana Greener and 69-year-old Arthur Greener, both of Sonora, were walking along the Greenley Road sidewalk, adjacent to the Shopping Center.
