A traffic accident in Twentynine Palms yesterday afternoon sent two Twentynine Palms residents to area hospitals. According to the Sheriff’s Department, Judith Barnard, 21, was driving her 2000 Ford Focus northbound on Utah Trail. Barnard stopped at the intersection with Highway 62, but failed to yield to Elizabeth Sustar, 28, who was driving westbound on the highway. Barnard broadsided Sustar’s 2004 Honda Civic. Barnard was taken to the Naval Hospital on the Marine base for complaints of pain. Sustar’s 4-year-old son was taken to Hi-Desert Medical Center for minor injuries.
