The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office says one person was hurt during an accident that took place at around 10-a.m. Sunday, south of Harlan. Officials say a 2003 Jeep driven by Khrystyne Napolitano-Gustafson, of Harlan, was traveling west on 800th Street and came to a stop at the intersection with Highway 59, but then turned into the path of a northbound 1997 Chevrolet Silverado driven by Shirley Jensen, of Audubon.

After the vehicles collided in the intersection, the Jeep came to rest in the intersection, while the pickup came to rest in the east ditch. Napolitano-Gustafson was transported by Medivac Ambulance to Myrtue Memorial Hospital in Harlan for treatment of minor injuries. Jensen was checked-out at the scene, but refused treatment.

Both vehicles sustained major damage. Napolitano-Gustafson was cited by deputies for Failure to Yield.
