No injuries were reported following two separate accidents Thursday afternoon, in Audubon County. The Sheriff’s Department says the first happened at around 12:40-p.m. on Pheasant Avenue, just south of 210th Street, when a 1995 Ford tandem truck pulling a 1976 Puma tandem axle trailer and driven by 59-year old Russell William Murray, of Audubon, went out of control on the ice covered road. The trailer jackknifed and rolled into the west ditch. The trailer broke its hitch and became separated from the truck. Both vehicles were loaded with lime. Damage was estimated at $5,000.

The second accident happened at around 1:30-p.m. and involved vehicles driven by 18-year old David Raymond Ratigan, of Panama and 34-year old Bret James Hildebrand, of Coon Rapids. Sheriff’s officials say both drivers were traveling west on Littlefield Drive, with Hildebrand traveling slowly due to the icy conditions. Ratigan’s 2002 Dodge rear-ended the 2013 Hino van driven by Hildebrand near the intersection with Goldfinch Avenue, causing $4,000 damage altogether.  The van was registered to Prenger Furniture Inc., of Carroll.
