A woman from Creston complained of pain following a rollover accident Monday afternoon, in Union County. The Sheriff’s Office says 44-year old Alisha Peckham was driving a 2009 GMC pickup northbound on Kingfisher Avenue, at around 12:30-p.m., when a deer jumped out onto the road. When Peckham swerved to avoid hitting the animal, the pickup went into the west ditch, down an embankment and through a fence before coming to rest on the driver’s side. She was wearing her seat belt, but suffered unknown/possible injuries and was transported to the Creston hospital.

Her pickup sustained an estimated $5,000 damage. Damage to the fence, owned by Tony Allen, of Shannon City, amounted to about $200.
