On Saturday morning just after 10:00 a.m. the Stanton County Sheriff’s office responded to and investigated a one vehicle traffic accident about 12.5 miles East of Norfolk on U.S. Hwy 275 that sent the driver to the hospital by ambulance for treatment of possible back and neck injuries. Skylin Kinkead, 19, of Fremont was driving west on Hwy 275 when she went to pass a DOT snowplow and lost control of her SUV and it careened into the north ditch striking a snow embankment and hillside. She was removed from the wreckage and transported to FRHS by Stanton Fire. A male passenger declined medical transport at the scene. Kinkead was unrestrained at the time of the accident. The scene is the exact location of an accident the Sheriff’s office investigated yesterday involving a pickup and intoxicated driver.
