No injuries reported in van rollover wreck

No one was injured in an automobile wreck late Thursday afternoon that snarled traffic in front of Fayette Community Hospital.

According to Fayetteville police, a van driven by Maureen Trapaga of Peachtree City was struck in the rear by another vehicle, causing it to eventually flip over. Neither Trapaga nor the other driver, Mary Miller of Griffin, were injured, said Lt. Beverly Trainor of the Fayetteville Police Department.

Miller's vehicle clipped the rear of Trapaga's van, causing it to skid, Trainor said. As Trapaga tried to steer out of the skid, she over-corrected, causing the vehicle to roll over on its roof, Trainor added.

Miller was cited for failure to yield at a stop sign.
