(Guthrie Center, Iowa) – Sheriff’s officials in Guthrie County, Tuesday, released information with regard to four separate, non-injury accidents that occurred over the past five days. Three of the collisions involved deer on the roads.

Authorities say at around 1:30-p.m. Monday, a rear-end collision happened on Highway 141 out of Bayard, when an SUV driven by 63-year-old Robert Adams, of Breda, slowed down and was stopping for a vehicle that was stopped and waiting to make a left turn. An SUV driven by 31-year-old Rayne Worthington, of Coon Rapids, experienced brake trouble, according to the report, and was unable to stop before it struck the rear of Adams’ SUV. Damage from the collision amounted to $11,000. No citations were issued, but the sheriff’s report noted Worthington was following too closely and failed to yield the right-of-way.

An accident Sunday evening in Guthrie County resulted in $12,000 damage to a pickup driven by 41-year-old Bradley Vonnahme, of Coon Rapids. Authorities say he was traveling in the 1500 block of Highway 25, when his pickup struck a deer on the road. The vehicle was able to be driven away from the scene of the collision.

Saturday evening, an SUV driven by 27-year-old Jamie Daggett, of Des Moines, struck a deer on Highway 25 north near 160th Road. The vehicle sustained an estimated $5,000 damage and was towed from the scene.
