Sheriff’s officials in Pottawattamie County say no serious injuries were reported following two, separate rollover accidents. The latest took place early this (Monday) morning, at 380th and PinOak Road, when 20-year old Dakota Smith, of Oakland, swerved to miss a deer as he was headed south on 380th, northwest of Oakland. The 1992 Ford Taurus he was driving went into a ditch and rolled several times before coming to rest. The accident happened just before 3-a.m.
The other accident, also a rollover, happened at around 1:30-a.m. Saturday, when 61-year old Craig Tripp, of Avoca, fell asleep at the wheel of his 1967 Corvette. The car veered off the road near as it was headed eastbound on 380th, near the intersection with Tamarack Avenue, or about two-miles south of Shelby.
Neither driver required transport to the hospital.
