The Page County Sheriff’s Office says no injuries were reported following an accident Saturday evening, about 5-miles west of Coin. Authorities say 24-year old Kimberly Schoonover, of Tarkio, MO., was traveling west on Page County Road J-72/270th Street at around 7:40-p.m., when a pickup driven by 16-year old Jake Cerven, of Blanchard, rolled through the stop sign at the intersection with C Avenue.

Cerven saw Schoonover’s 2012 Chevy Malibu approaching, and attempted to speed-up in order to avoid a side impact collision. The car however, hit the 2012 Chevy Colorado truck int the right rear side, causing damage to the box and bumper of the pickup. The damage was estimated at $2,900. The car  sustained disabling damage, to the tune of about $4,000.

Cerven was cited by deputies for Failing to obey a stop sign, and for Violating his school license permit.
