Truck-car Accident Results in Double Fatality

At approximately 12:55 pm on Friday April 23, 2021, the Cheyenne County Sheriff's Office, Nebraska State Patrol, Regional West Ambulance Service and the Sidney Fire Department responded to a double fatality motor vehicle accident at the intersection of County Road 111 and County Road 32. 

The report stated that there was a child in a car seat that was still alive and crying.  An investigation determined that Mark Dalbey was driving a semi-tractor pulling an enclosed van trailer westbound on County Road 32.

Brian Johnson was traveling northbound on County Road 111 with his family in a Honda CRV.  According to the Cheyenne County Attorney's office, Johnson's vehicle failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection of County Road 32 and County Road 111 and collided with Dalbey's tractor-trailer. 

Brian Lee Johnson (51) and his wife Catherine Noquera Johnson (24) were killed upon impact.  Their infant daughter (1 ½ years of age) was extricated from the wreckage and was transported to Sidney Regional Medical Center and later flown to a children's hospital in Colorado for treatment of her injuries.
