The Page County Sheriff’s Department says one person was hospitalized Sunday morning following a car-versus-deer accident, just east of Clarinda. At around 10:25-a.m., a 1997 Chevy Blazer driven by 36-year old Robert Joseph Fletcher, of Diagonal,  was east bound on 185th Street, when Fletcher swerved to avoid hitting a deer. The SUV entered a deep Ravine on the north side of the roadway and came to rest on its top. Fletcher, who was the only person in the vehicle, was transported to the Creston Hospital with unknown injuries. The SUV is considered totaled.

That same day, Page County Deputies responded to a dog bite in College Springs. Officials say a Juvenile female was riding her bicycle on Iowa Street, when a dog, owned by Mandi Smiley of College Springs, ran into the street and bit the juvenile female on the leg. The bite didn’t break the skin. The owner of the dog was attempting to catch the dog when this happened. The juvenile female’s parents were aware of the incident and were advised, along with Smiley, on what to do.
