Two people were injured during a collision Tuesday morning in Mills County. The Sheriff’s Office reports 32-year old Bethany Sheffield, of Ocala, FL, suffered possible injury, and was transported by Glenwood Rescue to Jenny Edmundson Hospital. The other driver, 21-year old Reragan Whitehill, of Webster City, suffered unknown, possible injuries, and was transported by personal vehicle.

Authorities say both drivers were traveling east on Highway 34 at around 7:38-a.m.   As they approached the intersection with Kidd Road, Whitehill began to slow down to making a turn to the south onto Kidd Road. Sheffield told deputies the sun was in her eyes, and she didn’t see Whitehill’s 2007 Ford. Sheffield’s 2014 Ford hit the rear of the other vehicle, causing it to enter the southeast ditch. Sheffields’ vehicle came to rest on the southbound shoulder of the road.
