A woman from Marne was cited for Failure to Maintain Control and Failure to Yield one-half of the roadway, following a collision Thursday afternoon on Highway 83, near Walnut.  Lt. Rob Ambrose, with the Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Department, told KJAN News 26-year old Heidi Johnson, of Marne, was traveling east at around 2:18-p.m., when the 2013 Nissan Rouge (a crossover-style SUV) she was driving, crossed the center line of the road into part of the westbound lane. The SUV collided with a westbound 2002 Chrysler, driven by 26-year old Samantha Walters, of Atlantic.

Walters suffered non-life threatening injuries and was transported by Walnut Rescue to Myrtue Memorial Hospital in Harlan, for treatment. Johnson refused medical treatment at the scene. Damage from the crash amounted to approximately $24,000.
