BANGOR – A two-vehicle crash about 3 p.m. Friday at the intersection of Hancock and Exchange streets caused injuries to both drivers and a combined $10,000 in damage to the two SUVs involved, according to police.

Joan Merrill, 59, of Stetson was traveling east on Hancock Street in her 2006 Jeep SUV when she allegedly failed to stop at a stop sign at the intersection of Hancock and Exchange streets, according to accident reports filed by Bangor police.

As Merrill traveled into the intersection, her Jeep was struck by a 2006 Chevrolet SUV driven by Linda MacDonald, 48, of Bangor, who was heading south and had the right of way.
