The Iowa State Patrol report a Greenfield teen and her mother were injured during a two-vehicle collision Tuesday evening on the west side of Greenfield. Officials say an SUV driven by 14-year old Samantha College, of Greenfield, was traveling north on Lakeview Drive at around 6:30-p.m., when she stopped at the intersection with Highway 92. As she proceeded across the highway, the Chevy Blazer she was driving was hit by a 2013 Chevy Silverado pickup, driven by 76-year old Donald Shannon, of Greenfield. Following the collision, the SUV came to rest on the south shoulder of Highway 92, while the pickup came to rest in the north ditch.

Samantha College, and her passenger, 46-year old Debra College, were transported by the Adair Rescue to the Adair County Memorial Hospital in Greenfield. A report on their conditions is not available.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – School officials are crediting a Johnston Middle School student with stopping a Union County teen from selling a gun.  Johnston School District spokeswoman Laura Dillavou says the Johnston student reported 15-year old Dyrell Thorton, of Lorimor, after receiving text messages from him about selling a gun. Thorton, who attends East Union High School in Afton, was arrested Jan. 9 on weapons and other charges.

Police investigated the teen and discovered he used a school computer to send messages about a gun sale to a student at Lincoln High School in Des Moines. Afton Police Chief John Coulter says the middle school student thwarted the boy’s plans to sell the gun. Coulter says he previously thought Internet software had alerted officials to the messages, but that wasn’t true.

Police haven’t found the gun.

The Page County Sheriff’s Office says no injuries were reported to the driver of a full-size pickup, after the vehicle collided with a deer, which landed on the windshield and side window. The accident happened at around 7:30-a.m. Monday, on Highway 48, between Avenues H and G.

Authorities say 43-year old Gary Longfellow, of Corning, was driving the 2002 Chevy C-1500 Silverado truck, when he came upon a herd of deer crossing the road. Longfellow was unable to stop in-time to prevent striking one of the animals. Damage to his truck was estimated at $2,500.
