Three people suffered suspected minor/non-incapacitating injuries during an accident Monday afternoon, in Shelby County. The Sheriff’s Office reports 47-year old Bryan C. Watkins, of Blair, NE., was traveling west on Highway 44 at around 3:35-p.m., and approaching the intersection with Shelby County Road M-47, when a car traveling east on Highway 44 began to make a left turn to travel north on M-47. In doing so, the other vehicle pulled in front of Watkins’ 2013 Dodge pickup.

When Watkins took evasive action to the right, his vehicle left the road and entered a ditch/embankment. Watkins, and his passengers, 48-year old Pamela S. Watkins and 6-year old Brennan Watkins, also from Blair, were transported by EMS to Myrtue Memorial Hospital, in Harlan. Irwin Rescue and Medivac assisted in the victims’ transport. No citations were issued.
