The Mills County Sheriff’s Office reports two accidents took place Monday morning. A little before 11-a.m., a 2020 Chrysler driven by 22-year-old Michael McCormick, of Villisca, was traveling west on Highway 34, when the vehicle left the road, entered the north ditch, and rolled onto its side. McCormick was transported by Malvern Rescue to the Montgomery County Memorial Hospital in Red Oak.

And, at around 5:45-a.m. Monday, 18-year old Genevieve Hartshorn, of Malvern, was driving a 2007 Toyota northbound on Ingrum Avenue, and attempted to slow down to pull over. She told authorities her brakes locked-up, causing her to lose traction. The vehicle left the road and slid into a ditch. It then struck a tree before coming to rest. There were no injuries reported.
