LISBON — Two drivers escaped with apparently minor injuries in a rear-end collision Saturday morning on Route 196 in Lisbon center.

Officer Gabrielle Mathieu identified the drivers as Catherine Saxon, 58, of Lisbon and Nathen Schneider, 36, of Lisbon Falls.

According to Mathieu, both vehicles were traveling west when Saxon slowed to make a left turn into a private drive and was struck from behind by Schneider, who did not see her in time to avoid a collision. Both drivers complained of minor pain and were taken to Central Maine Medical Center by Lisbon Emergency.

Damage was estimated at $4,000 to Saxon's 2000 Subaru Impreza, and at $5,000 to Schneider's 1999 Buick Century in the 9:25 a.m. crash.
