A deer in the road was said to have been the cause of an accident late Sunday night in northern Montgomery County. The Sheriff’s Office says a 2006 GMC Sierra k-2500 pickup driven by Justin W. Swartz, of Grant, was traveling east on 110th Street just west of W Avenue at around 9-p.m., when the vehicle topped a hill and came upon several deer. Swartz swerved to miss the animals and lost control of the truck, which entered the north ditch and overturned before coming to rest on its top.
The accident wasn’t discovered until just before midnight. Rescue personnel from Grant Fire and Rescue searched the area, but could not locate the vehicle’s driver. Swartz, who was not injured during the crash, had walked to his residence, where he was located a short time later.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Ian Kinsler singled in the tiebreaking run in the seventh inning after the Rangers knocked 10-game winner Adam Wainwright out of the game, and Texas completed a soggy three-game sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals with a 2-1 victory Sunday night. The finale of Texas’ first visit to Busch Stadium since losing Games 6 and 7 of the 2011 World Series, and first time ever in the regular season, was delayed 2 hours and 59 minutes by heavy rain with less than half of a near-capacity crowd sticking around.
Rookie Nick Tepesch had a resurgent outing for Texas, allowing a run on four hits in 5 2-3 innings after surrendering 11 runs in 8 2-3 innings the previous two outings. Kinsler and David Murphy had two hits apiece for the Rangers.

NEWTON, Iowa (AP) — A victory at Iowa Speedway isn’t exactly a curse. But for the third year in a row, the IndyCar Series winner from the previous season at Iowa has finished just one spot short defending their title. Ryan Hunter-Reay’s second-place finish Sunday at the IndyCar race at Iowa Speedway was the third straight time that the defending champion was second in their return to the track.
Tony Kanaan was second in 2011 after winning in 2010. Marco Andretti was second last season after besting Kanaan two years ago, and Hunter-Reay battled back from last to finish second behind teammate James Hinchcliffe on Sunday in Iowa. “We had a tough weekend. To come second out of this thing, I’m pretty pleased with that. Good job to James (Hinchcliffe),” Hunter-Reay said.
It was the third win of the year for Hinchcliffe, who had the strongest car of the weekend at Iowa. If form holds true, Hinchcliffe’s car will be just off the mark in Iowa in 2014.
A bicyclist who was reported missing today (Sunday), was found dead in Taylor County. According to the Iowa State Patrol, volunteers searching for 58-year old Gerald O. Williams, of Lenox, discovered the man’s body just off of Taylor County Road J-10, east of Lenox, near Vail Avenue. An investigation determined Williams was struck by a 2009 Chevy Malibu at around 9:15-a.m. Saturday, and died at the scene. The incident remains under investigation.
