A 25-year-old Detroit woman, Phyllis Fox, is dead and four others hospitalized after a head-on collision on U.S.30 about a mile west of Sidney Tuesday. The Fox car, eastbound, veered onto the shoulder then crossed into westbound lanes, colliding with a second vehicle carrying the Bradburds of Red Bluff, California.
