A collision between two vehicles Friday, in Page County, resulted in a man and a juvenile being transported to the hospital for treatment of unknown injuries. The Page County Sheriff’s Office reports Deputies responded to the scene of the crash at the intersection of Highways 2 and 59, and determined 22-year old
Dustin Thomas Hummel, of Sidney, was operating a 2010 Chevy.

Hummel’s vehicle was facing west on Highway 2, and stopped at the intersection, intending to continue westbound. 64-year old Roger Dale Cox, of rural Northboro, was driving a 2002 Ford northbound on Highway 59, south of Highway 2. Hummel told authorities he had looked south and saw no vehicles going north on Highway 59. He then looked north and saw a black truck going south on 59. When the black truck had cleared the intersection, Hummel pulled into the northbound lane of the highway, and without looking back to the south, attempted to cross Highway 59 and continue westbound. His vehicle struck the passenger side of the Cox vehicle, sending it into the west ditch on the north side of Highway 2.

Cox and his juvenile passenger were transported to the Shenandoah Medical Center for treatment of their unknown injuries. Hummel was not hurt in the collision. Authorities cited him for Failure to Obey a Stop or Yield sign. Damage from the collision amounted to $10,000 altogether.

The Page County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Shenandoah Ambulance Service, the Shenandoah Fire Department, The Shenandoah Police Department, and the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office.
