The Page County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday, said two separate accidents occurred Monday, the first of which resulted in several people being transported to the hospital. Just before 5-pm., deputies with the Page County Sheriff’s Office responded to a motor vehicle accident at the intersection of Highways 2 & 59. An investigation showed 18-year old Isiah Michael Still, of Coin, was driving a 1992 Oldsmobile Cutlass southbound on Highway 59, and attempting to make a left (east) turn onto Highway 2, across traffic.
61-year old Steven Craig Roby, of Red Oak, was driving a Ford F-150 pickup northbound on Highway 59. Still said that he didn’t see the Roby vehicle when making the turn. Due to Still turning into the path of Roby, both vehicles collided causing disabling damage to both. Still was cited for No proof of Insurance, Failure to have a valid driver’s license, and Failure to yield upon a left turn. Several people from the vehicles were transported to Shenandoah Medical Center for treatment of unknown injuries. The Page County Sheriff’s Office was assisted at the scene by the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office, the Shenandoah Police Department, the Shenandoah Fire Department, and the Shenandoah Ambulance Service.
And about three hours later, deputies in Page County responded to a single vehicle accident at the intersection of Highway 71 and 120th Street which is approximately 9 miles north of Clarinda, Ia. When Deputies arrived they found a 2011 Chevy K-1500 pickup that had what appeared to be totaling damage. There was nobody around the vehicle. Deputies made contact with the owner, 45-year old Lynn Lamar Scott, of Villisca, who said that he was driving at the time of the accident and had swerved to miss a deer and then went into the ditch, striking posts, debris and a power pole before coming to rest. Scott was uninjured. The vehicle received severe disabling damage. No citations were issued.
