The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office today (Thursday), reports one person was injured and two others checked by paramedics, following an accident Wednesday morning south of Harlan. Authorities say a 2007 Honda 4-door, driven by 29-year old James Miller, of Hancock ,and a 2002 Toyota RAV 4, driven by 70-year old Bret Anderson of Papillion, Nebraska, were both northbound on Highway 59 at the 68 mm and were stopped in a construction zone area.

51-year old Darian Robinson of Shelby, who was driving a 2006 Hyundai Tiburon and also northbound on Highway 59, said he could not slow in-time for the vehicles in front of him.  Robinson’s vehicle struck the rear end of Anderson’s SUV, causing that vehicle to be pushed into the Miller vehicle.

All three vehicles were moved to the shoulder of the road prior to the arrival of Shelby County Sheriff’s Deputies.  Miller and his passenger, Amanda Miller, were checked-out by Medivac Ambulance personnel, but did not request immediate transport to the hospital. Anderson was transported to Myrtue Medical Center in Harlan for treatment of possible injuries.

Robinson was cited for failure to maintain control. Damage to the three vehicles amounted to $16,000.
