The Taylor County Sheriff’s Office says three people were injured during a collision Tuesday afternoon near Bushville. Officials say Oren (Junior) Campbell was southbound on Highway 148 in his 2013 Ford Edge SUV. Devin Barnes of Athens, Texas, was eastbound on J-20 in a 1997 Chevy Silverado owned by Kendal Arnold of Villisca.

As Campbell came to the intersection Barnes allegedly ran the stop sign at the intersection and came into the path of the pickup. Following the collision, both vehicles came to rest southeast of the intersection in the ditch.

Devin Barnes, Oren Campbell and his wife Wanda, were transported to the hospital in Corning. Both vehicles appeared to have been totaled during the crash. Charges against Barnes are currently pending. Assisting Taylor County Sheriff’s Office were Deputies from Adams County, Corning Fire and EMS, Taylor County EMS and Lenox Fire.
