Two people were injured and transported to the Clarinda Regional Healthcare Center, following a collision (this) Thursday morning, about two miles west of Clarinda. The Page County Sheriff’s Office says the accident happened at the intersection of O Avenue and Highway 2, at around 6:55-a.m.  The drivers of the vehicles, 26-year old Andrew Thomas Skinner, of Denver, IA, and 38-year old Tylicia Vaun Bradley, of Fairfax, MO., were hurt. The extent of their injuries was not immediately known.

Officials say Skinner was southbound on O Avenue operating in a 1998 Oldsmobile, while Bradley was eastbound on Highway 2, in a 2009 Mitsubishi SUV. Skinner failed to failed to pay attention to the stop ahead sign, rumble strips, or the stop sign and went into the intersection without stopping. Bradley didn’t see Skinner until Skinner was in the intersection. Her SUV hit Skinner’s car on the passenger side doors. Both vehicles spun-out, went through a fence in the southeast corner of the intersection and came to rest in a pasture owned by Brent Pulliam.
