A car and a semi were involved in a collision at Montrose early Monday morning.

The crash happened at 6:23am at the intersection of National Road and Spring Creek Road.

Effingham County sheriff's deputies report a car driven by 28-year-old Brianna Waltman of St. Elmo was traveling on National Road, while a semi driven by 65-year-old Lonnie Splittorff stopped at the four-way stop. Deputies say Waltman failed to stop at the intersection and traveled into the path of the semi.

Waltman's passenger, nine-month-old Zayne Myers of St. Elmo, was injured and was taken to HSHS St. Anthony's Memorial Hospital in Effingham.

Waltman was cited for disobeying a stop sign, improper use of an electronic communication device, and operating an uninsured motor vehicle.
