(Glenwood, Iowa) – The Mills County Sheriff’s Office reports no one was injured following two separate accident so far this week.  Monday evening, a 2011 Jeep driven by 20-year-old Martin Plascencia-Marquez, of Omaha, was traveling east on Highway 34 near mile marker 1, when at around 7:23-p.m., the vehicle began to malfunction. After Plascencia-Marquez pulled-over and popped the hood, he saw flames coming from the engine bay. The compartment became fully engulfed in flames, and was extinguished by first responders.

On Wednesday, Mills County Deputies responded to a rollover accident at 360th/Lambert. A 2022 Nissan was observed in the north ditch. The driver, 23-year-old Ian Rieple, of Omaha, informed the Deputy that he was en route to Malvern, when his vehicle slid-off the road and into the ditch. The Deputy transported the man to a local convenience store to be picked up by his friend and transported back to Nebraska.
