A woman and a child were transported to a Panhandle hospital after a rollover accident. 

On Nov. 15 at approximately 4:14 p.m. the Scottsbluff Police Department was dispatched to a rollover accident at the intersection of Highway 26 and East Overland Drive in Scottsbluff. 

 A 2014 Dodge Durango driven by 35-year-old Carl Sell of Bayard was traveling south on Highway 26 approaching the East Overland Drive intersection.  A black 2006 F-150 driven by 26-year-old Kayellyn Haug of Gering was traveling west toward East Overland Drive at the Highway 26 intersection. 

Sell drove through the red light colliding with Haug’s vehicle causing it to roll on its top in the east bound lane of East Overland Drive. 

Haug’s 1-year-old child was also in the vehicle, restrained in the back seat.

"Haug was not wearing her seat belt and received non-life threatening injuries," said Dominick Peterson, Scottsbluff Police Patrol Sergeant. "Sell was wearing his seat belt and received minor injuries." 

Haug and her child were transported by ambulance to Regional West Medical Center in Scottsbluff.

Haug's child sustained no injuries in the accident. 

Sell was cited for a traffic signal violation, texting while driving and careless driving.
