Three people were injured in a two-vehicle accident on Monday afternoon in Montgomery County. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office reports they received a call from OnStar about an accident west of L Avenue and Highway 34 east of Red Oak at about 2:20pm.

After arrival deputies determined that a 2002 Chevy Impala driven by 19-year-old Kaitlyn Georgianna Barrett of Bedford was traveling westbound on Highway 34 and pulled off onto the north shoulder with the intent to make a u-turn. Barrett then got in the path of a 2011 Buick Enclave driven by 80-year-old Donna Grace Carlson of Red Oak that was also traveling west on Highway 34. Barrett was flown from the scene to University of Nebraska Medical Center with a head injury. Donna Carlson and passenger 85-year-old Robert Leonard Carlson were taken to the Montgomery County Memorial Hospital with possible injuries.

Damage to the Impala was estimated at $6,000 and damage to the Enclave was estimated at $18,000. Charges are pending at this time.
