A Shenandoah woman distracted by her radio caused an accident that sent three people to the hospital, Wednesday. The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office says 23-year old Ashleigh Sons, of Shenandoah, was traveling north on Highway 59 near the intersection of 110th Street, when she lost control of the 2002 Oldsmobile Alero she was driving.

When the car left the road to the east, Sons over-corrected, causing the car to re-enter the road, where it hit a southbound 2013 Ford Taurus. The Ford, driven by 42-year old Jac Cornet, of Chicago Heights, IL, entered the west ditch and rolled over. Cornet, and a passenger in his car, 44-year old Brian Sharp, of The Colony, TX, were transported by Essex Rescue to the Shenandoah Medical Center for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.

Sons was transported by private vehicle to the same hospital, for treatment of similar injuries. She was subsequently cited for Failure to Maintain Control. Fremont County deputies were assisted at the scene by deputies from Page County, and personnel with the Essex Fire and Rescue Dept.
