Car Rear Ends Pickup, 1 Hospitalized, LIVINGSTON, October 25, 2015 - At approximately 12:50 pm on October 25, 2015, a silver Toyota Corolla driven by Kyle Mitchell Farris, 21, of Midway, was north-bound on South Houston (146) and allegedly failed to notice a red Chevy Colorado directly in front of him.  The Chevy Colorado (driven by Myra Adams Tucker, 72, of Livingston) was stopped and waiting to make a left turn onto Denham.  Farris slammed Tucker from behind.  The impact caused Tucker's vehicle to strike another vehicle.  The third vehicle kept going and left the scene.  Americare Ambulance Service was dispatched to the scene along with Officers Scott Paske, Kevin Ward, and Sergeant Ronnie Bogany with the Livingston Police Department.  Tucker was transported by ambulance to CHI Livingston Memorial Hospital with undisclosed injuries.  Farris was physically okay.  Traffic on South Houston was partially blocked during investigation and cleanup.  Farris was cited for failure to control speed.  A rollback wrecker from Ken's Towing recovered both vehicles.  Tucker's vehicle will be stored at Pollock's Body Shop in Livingston and Farris' vehicle will be stored at Harrison Body Shop in Livingston.
