A Bristol woman was cited for not having a child properly restrained after a crash on State Road 119.
The collision happened around 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 5, near the intersection of SR 119 and County Road 11 when the 27-year-old woman rear-ended a vehicle that was slowing down in front of her, according to the Elkhart County Sheriff’s Office.
