The Page County Sheriff’s Office reports one person was seriously injured Sunday afternoon, after a car rear-ended a pickup pulling a trailer. Officials says the driver of the car, 35-year old Chad Newberg, of New Market, was transported by LifeNet helicopter to the Nebraska Medical Center following the crash. A report on his condition is not currently available.

The accident happened at around 4-p.m. west of Highway 2 near J Avenue, northwest of Yorktown. Authorities say 63-year old Terry James Dammann, of Clarinda, was legally parked on the shoulder of Highway 2, sitting his vehicle and making a phone call, when a 2000 Mercury Cougar car driven by Newberg plowed into a trailer being pulled by Damman’s 2012 Ford F-150. The trailer was hauling a golf cart, which was destroyed in the crash.

Dammann suffered non-life threatening injuries during the accident. He was transported by Shenandoah EMS to the Shenandoah Medical Center. Newberg’s car was totaled in the crash. The damage to Damman’s vehicle, trailer and golf cart amounted to $8,500. The accident remains under investigation, and charges are pending.
