A Story From Our Local Newspaper Salem man injured in head-on crash by Cindy O'Neill A 67-year-old Salem man was injured in an accident opposite the North Shore Mall in Peabody yesterday. A Danvers woman was charged after the head-on collision on Cross Street that injured Herman Daniels of Salem but left his dog unharmed, police said. State Police said Juanita Johnson, 29, was driving east at about 9:45 p.m. when her car jumped a traffic island and struck an oncoming car driven by Herman Daniels. Daniels, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was taken to Beverly Hospital; his Labrador retriever, in the passenger seat, was unhurt, Sergeant Michael McKay said. Johnson was also charged with operating to endanger. McKay said Johnson, who claims not to remember striking Daniels’ car, was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. Witnesses told investigators they saw Johnson’s car drive onto the center island without warning and head toward Daniels’ car. McKay said police were trying to determine whether Johnson, who suffers from epilepsy, was having a seizure at the time of the accident. (C) CAST 20139
