The officer said that Osborn was turning her Acura left into a parking lot after another driver waved her in. Alexis Osborn suffered non-life threatening injuries on her head, hip and legs and was transported for treatment to Mercy Medical Center in Redding. A third vehicle that was hit in the driveway received only minor damage, Kongkeoviman said.
