A driver was cited after causing a three-car wreck at the corner of Locust Street and East Cascade Avenue on Friday. (The vehicle that caused the wreck is not pictured.)

The driver's Mercedes vehicle was headed eastbound out of the parking lot thru-way between Sisters City Hall and the Sisters School District offices when it collided with a vehicle headed north on Locust, then slid into a vehicle stopped at the stop sign on East Cascade Avenue.

According to a Deschutes County Sheriff's Deputy, the driver didn't run the stop sign; he made a stop but then failed to yield to the northbound vehicle. While air bags deployed in two of the vehicles, there were no serious injuries reported. Davis Towing responded to remove the disabled vehicles from the intersection. Locust Street was closed for the better part of an hour while the wreckage was cleared.
