Late Tuesday morning a 25-year-old
McLean man, Clint L. Gordon, ran his
Chevrolet Silverado pickup into the
back of a Buick LeSabre driven by
Linda Stone. Both vehicles were
eastbound on Woodlawn Road at about
Monroe Street when the impact began.
Gordon continued to drive, pushing the
Stone car 700 feet down the road, and
then drove off when the car was out of
his way. He was apprehended by Lincoln
police about a mile from the accident
scene and charged with leaving the
scene of an accident.
Stone and her daughter Mary were
treated and released at ALMH.
