Two people were transported to area hospitals following two separate accidents Monday afternoon, in Fremont County. Sheriff’s officials say one of the accidents occurred at around 2:40-p.m., at the intersection of 120th Street and 310th Avenue, near Randolph. The accident happened as a pickup owned by Miller Building Supply, of Shenandoah, was westbound on 120th and was attempting to turn south onto 310th. When a pickup and trailer driven by 51-year old Monte McConahay, of Randolph, attempted to pass several vehicles stopped behind the turning pickup, both trucks collided, causing the MBS pickup to enter the south ditch.
Tabor Rescue transported the driver of the MBS truck to the Shenandoah Memorial Hospital, for treatment of minor injuries. Neither McConahay nor his passenger were injured in the crash. Both drivers and the passenger were wearing their seat belts.
The second accident happened at around 5:25-p.m. near 220th Street and 230th Avenue, when a pickup driven by 16-year old Anthony Kelsay, of Sidney, went out of control and entered a ditch before hitting a power pole. The mishap occurred when the teen put the vehicle in reverse. Deputies believe a medical condition caused the crash. Kelsay was transported by Percival Rescue to Grape Community Hospital in Hamburg, for treatment of unknown, possible injuries.
