Three people were transported to the Shenandoah Memorial Hospital following an accident Tuesday afternoon. The Page County Sheriff’s Office reports deputies responded at around 2:11-p.m. to a two vehicle accident with injuries, at the intersection of Highways 2 and 59. An investigation determined a car driven by 60-year old Denise Renee Bryant, of Coin, was traveling south on Highway 59. As she attempted to make a left (east) turn onto Highway 2 eastbound, 57-year old Carol Lynn Kirkpatrick, of Westboro, MO. was driving an SUV northbound on Highway 59.

Bryant said that she was looking at an ambulance that was stopped at the eastbound stop sign of the intersection on Highway 2 waiting for traffic to clear. The ambulance did not have any
emergency lights activated. When Bryant turned east from Highway 59 into the path of the Kirkpatrick SUV, the front passenger side portion of the Kirkpatrick vehicle struck the front passenger side fender / front end of the Bryant vehicle. Bryant’s 2011 Mercury Milan vehicle spun around and came to rest in the northbound lane / shoulder part of Highway 59, north of Highway.  Kirkpatrick’s 2014 Jeep Cherokee veered in a northeast direction coming to rest in the east ditch of the intersection.

Authorities say it appears that both vehicles went over the westbound Highway 2 stop sign of the intersection. Bryant, Kirkpatrick, and a passenger in the SUV, 57-year old Helen Marie Settles, of Westboro, MO., were transported to the hospital for treatment of undisclosed injuries. Deputies cited Bryant for Failure to yield upon left turn.

The Page County Sheriff’s Office was assisted at the scene by the Clarinda Ambulance service, the Shenandoah Ambulance service, the Shenandoah Police department, the Shenandoah Fire Department, and the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office.
