The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office reports two separate accidents took place Wednesday, but there were no injuries. The first accident happened at around 9:48-a.m. on Highway 34. Authorities say 22-year old Kendra Mykkel Top, of Villisca, was driving a 2008 Ford Escape, when the SUV went out of control and entered the north ditch, before striking several trees. Damage from the crash amounted to $8,000. No citations were issued, due to the road conditions at the time.

And, at around 4-p.m., a two-vehicle, property-damage accident happened near the intersection of 1st Avenue and 4th Street, in Villisca. Officials say a 1997 Ford snowplow owned by the City of Villisca – and driven by 45-year old Donald Lee Sexton, of Villisca – was traveling west on 4th Street, when the blade caught the pavement and forced the vehicle left-of-center. The plow struck a 2012 Ford F-250 pickup, which was eastbound on 4th. The plow sustained no damage, but the pickup – driven by 35-year old Aaron WIlliam Focht, of Villisca, sustained $7,000 damage. No citations were issued.
