(Guthrie Center, Iowa) – The Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a vehicle hit-and-run property damage incident. Authorities say at around 9:30-a.m. Monday, a man reported a hit-and-run accident from the previous night at Diamondhead Lake. The Sheriff’s Office says they took another report of a hit-and-run Sunday night near the man’s residence, and that the suspect vehicle was a UTV that was running into parked vehicles.

A Deputy who arrived on the scene observed damage to the driver’s side of the reporting party’s 2017 Chevy Colorado pickup. The damage was discovered by the vehicle’s owner Monday morning, before he called the Sheriff’s Office.

The pickup sustained $6,000 damage. The incident remains under investigation.
