SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. — One person was injured in a two-vehicle crash Monday afternoon at the intersection of Highway 26 and East 27th Street in Scottsbluff, according to the Scottsbluff Police Department.

Police said officers were dispatched to the scene at approximately 4:05 p.m. and found one vehicle disabled and blocking the eastbound lanes of Highway 26, with a second vehicle located in a ditch near the frontage road. Both vehicles sustained significant damage in the collision.

An investigation determined that a 2016 gray Toyota Compass, driven by Wyatt Hooton, 27, of Scottsbluff, was traveling eastbound on Highway 26 when a 2006 gold Kia Sedona, driven by Errol Amey, 43, of Colorado, attempted to make a left-hand turn onto East 27th Street. Police said the Kia failed to yield the right of way, causing the crash.

Hooton was transported to Regional West Medical Center for treatment of injuries. Amey was cited and released for failure to yield the right of way.

Both vehicles were towed from the scene due to disabling damage. Highway 26 was closed for approximately 30 minutes while emergency crews responded and cleared the roadway.

The Scottsbluff Police Department was assisted by the Scottsbluff Fire Department, the Scotts Bluff County Sheriff’s Office and Regional West Ambulance Services.
