No injuries were reported in Page County, Friday, after the driver of a vehicle veered for the deer and struck another vehicle. The Page County Sheriff’s Office says at around 6:30-p.m.,  59-year old Marilyn Diane Shore, of Clarinda, was driving a 2005 Dodge Caravan northbound on Highway 71, about one-mile north of Clarinda. 43-year old Lavonne Suzanne Squires, of Villisca, was driving a 2012 Ford Focus also northbound, following the Shore vehicle.

When a deer ran onto the roadway, Squires swerved and accelerated into the southbound lane to avoid it. There was a vehicle coming toward the Squires vehicle in the southbound lane. Squires then swerved back into the northbound lane and struck the rear driver’s side fender of the Shore vehicle with the front passenger side fender. Damage from the collision amounted to $8,000. No citations were issued.
