The woman had stopped for a pedestrian on the 100 block of Anderson Street when she was rear ended by car driven by a 29-year-old Crescent Valley resident.
Both vehicles were heavily damaged in the collision, but the woman, her 11-year-old son and the Crescent Valley driver all escaped with minor injuries.
The Crescent Valley resident was charged with following too close.
