Grain trailer nails Honda at Colfax

Colfax police, fire and ambulance units responded to a report of a truck-car collision at the intersection of Main and Canyon Streets at 1:52 p.m. Monday. Police Chief Rick McNannay said the trailer of a 1996 Kenworth grain truck, driven by Nicholas Cocking, 21, Farmington, struck a 1996 Honda CRV driven by Ann Marra of Colfax. She had stopped for the traffic light in the westbound lane of Canyon and the trailer struck the front of the car when Cocking attempted a left turn from Main Street onto Canyon to continue eastbound on Highway 272. The trailer was empty.

Marra, who told officers she attempted to back the Honda out of way of the turning truck, was taken by ambulance to the hospital for a checkup. Chief McNannay said he cited Cocking for making an improper turn.
