Mills County accidents reported
August 6th, 2013 by Ric Hanson
Sheriff’s officials in Mills County say no injuries were reported following two recent accidents. On July 30th, a 1998 Lincoln driven by Denver Cook, of Glenwood, was traveling east at a high rate of speed on Highway 34, when Cook tried to make a left-hand turn onto 315th Street. His vehicle was traveling too fast to make the turn though, and went out of control. It hit a ditch head-on before traveling up an embankment through a cornfield and coming to rest in the south ditch of Highway 34, about one-half mile north of Malvern.
The other accident happened last Friday (Aug. 2nd), at around 2:35-p.m. Officials say a 2007 Honda driven by Samuel Kalhorn, of Glenwood, was traveling south on 240th Street, when an unknown vehicle was headed northbound, partially in Kalhorn’s lane. When he swerved to avoid contact with the other vehicle, Kalhorn’s car hit a cable guardrail.
