Shawn M. Geers, a twenty-five year old man from Marion was killed as the driver of a car attempted to turn left of center at the intersection of Collins Road NE with the drive at Northland Square Mall. Alexander Best, an eighteen year old man from Marion attempted to turn left and collided with Geers. The collision occurred around 7:17 p.m. Monday night. The accident is reported in The Gazette.

Someone who turns left of center, across the center line, is usually charged with failure to yield the right of way. Civilly they could be sued for negligence including a failure to yield, or to keep a proper lookout or to drive using due care. An investigation would need to be conducted to know how many counts of negligence would apply.
