Two people were injured during a crash Saturday afternoon in Montgomery County. Sheriff’s officials say 72-year old Steven Harshaw, of Glenwood, was transported by helicopter from the scene of the crash at Chestnut Street and Highway 48 in Elliott, to a hospital in Omaha. A report on his condition is not available. The driver of the other vehicle, 25-year old Alexandria Strauss, of Elliott, refused treatment at the scene.

Authorities say a 2005 Ford Explorer driven by Strauss was traveling east on Highway 48 at around 1:45-p.m., when she slowed to turn left onto Chestnut Street. In doing so, she failed to she an approaching 2002 Kia driven by Harshaw, and pulled into the path of the car, causing the collision.

Montgomery County Sheriff’s deputies were assisted at the scene by personnel from the Elliott Fire Dept., Elliott 1st Responders, Red Oak Rescue, and the Red Oak Fire Department.
