The driver of an SUV was arrested following an investigation into an accident that took place Saturday morning. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office says 39-year old Joshua D. Mohn, of Red Oak, was taken into custody for Driving While License Suspended, after the 2005 Dodge Durango he was driving struck the rear of a trailer being pulled by a pickup.

The accident happened at around 7:24-a.m., on Highway 34, just east of M Avenue. Authorities say a westbound 2014 Chevy pickup owned by New Balance Commodities and driven by 44-year old Todd Drake, of Nodaway, was pulling a 2005 Feather Lite trailer owned by Nodaway Valley Feeders. When Drake slowed for a flag person at the beginning of a construction zone, the trailer was struck by Mohn’s SUV, causing $3,000 damage to both the trailer and the Durango.

Mohn was transported to the Montgomery County Law Enforcement Center and held on a $300 bond for Driving While Suspended. No injuries were reported.
