Two people escaped injury following an accident Monday morning, in Montgomery County. Sheriff’s officials report a vehicle driven by Kimberly Dawn Freeman, of Auburn, NE., was traveling east on Highway 34 west of Red Oak at around 9:45-a.m., when the car drifted onto the shoulder of the road. Freeman over corrected, causing the 1996 Geo Prizm to fishtail into the path of a westbound vehicle driven by Ronald Deane McGrew, of Emerson.

McGrew tried to avoid a head-on collision, but his vehicle struck Freeman’s car, sending it into the north ditch. McGrew’s vehicle came to rest on the shoulder of the road. Authorities say Freeman was cited for Failure to Maintain Control.

Damage from the crash amounted to $3,600.
