The Union County Sheriff’s Office reports a vehicle reported stolen Sunday in Afton, was recovered Tuesday night in Colorado. Authorities were notified by Wheat Ridge, CO, Police that the 1998 Chevy Blazer was found in their area of jurisdiction. No other details were provided.

And, the Union County Sheriff’s Office says no injuries were reported following a collision Tuesday afternoon. Authorities say a 1994 Dodge pickup driven by 74-year old James Coady, and a 2000 Ford pickup driven by 39-year old Justin Staver, both of Afton, collided at around 2:35-p.m. at the intersection of Dutcher Street and U-S Highway 169, in Afton.

Officials say Coady was traveling south on Highway 169, while Staver was traveling east on 245th (or, Dutcher St.). Staver stoped at the posted sign and waited for a non-contact vehicle to pass by before pulling out onto the Highway. In doing so, he failed to see Coady’s pickup approaching. The resulting collision caused a total of $4,000 damage. Staver was cited for Failure to Yield the Right of Way.
