The Page County Sheriff’s Office reports a singe-vehicle accident occurred about one-half mile south of Shenandoah just before 10-p.m. Tuesday. The incident resulted in about $1,500 damage altogether, but no one was injured. Authorities say a 2017 Freightliner semi driven by 50-year old Kenneth William Perrigan, of Piney Flats, TN, was stopped at the intersection of Highways 59 and 2, facing west. Perrigan decided to turn north onto Highway 59, but then didn’t allow for space for the sharp turn, as he had not gone into the right turning lane of the intersection.

The semi drove over the stop sign causing an estimated $500 damage to the sign. The vehicle then attempted to continue north, however the stop sign damaged the air lines to the brakes, disabling them. The result was about $1,000 damage to the semi, owned by PRD Trucking INC of Newland, NC. No citations were issued. The Shenandoah Police Department assisted at the scene by providing traffic control.
