An accident Saturday night in Shambaugh caused at least $5,000 damage, but no one was hurt. The Page County Sheriff’s Office says 45-year old Jeffrey Gray, of Shambaugh, was attempting to make a left turn into an alley at around 8:30-p.m. Saturday, when his 2005 Chevy Colorado pickup hit a power pole. The pole snapped off at the ground before breaking in half and pulling the electrical wires from a building owned by Frank McCoy. After hitting the pole, Gray backed his truck up, and in the process struck McCoy’s metal building.

Gray was cited for Failure to Maintain Control.
