The Page County Sheriff’s Office says no injuries were reported following a collision Saturday afternoon, north of Essex. Officials say 20-year old Harley Collier, of Omaha, was traveling north on Avenue D at around 2:35-p.m., about two-miles north of Essex, near the intersection with 130th Street, when she ran into the rear of a trailer hauling a boat. The trailer was being pulled by a 2012 Ford F-150 pickup.
The driver of the pickup was identified as 64-year old Michael Dean Hecker, of Silver City. Authorities say due to the dust from Hecker’s vehicle Collier was unable to see his vehicle and trailer. Damage to the outboard engine on the boat was estimated at $1500.
Collier was cited for Failure to maintain control and Failure to prove security against liability.
