The Mills County Sheriff’s Office reports two people were injured during two recent, separate accidents. Authorities say on Monday, a vehicle driven by 24-year old Yamini Chebrolu, of Clarinda, was traveling south on Highway 59 at around 10-p.m., when her 2013 Chevy began to pull hard to the left for no apparent reason. She tried to correct the vehicles’ course, but over-corrected, causing the vehicle to enter a ditch. The vehicle then struck a driveway embankment in the ditch, vaulted over the driveway and landed on an embankment on the west side of the road before rolling over and coming to rest on its top. Chebrolu was treated at the scene by Emerson and Red Oak EMS, before being transported by LifeNet helicopter to a hospital.

Late Sunday morning, a 2018 Chevy driven by 52-year old Deborah Koperski, of Glenwood, was traveling north on Levi Road. A second Chevy was traveling south in the wrong lane, forcing Koperski to take to the shoulder of the road. The roadway was recently re-done, and had high, uneven shoulders. When Koperski’s vehicle hit a driveway, it went airborne and dove nose-first into a ditch. Koperski was injured and transported by Glenwood Rescue to Mercy Hospital.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa parole officer has been fired after an investigation concluded that she abused her power by conspiring with a detective to conduct an illegal search of a drug suspect’s home. A termination decision from the Department of Correctional Services says that officer Kari White committed “egregious” unethical and unprofessional conduct. The firing stems from White’s unusual role in a criminal investigation of Daniel Vinnece, who was on parole for drug crimes and lived in Boone.

White was not Vinnece’s parole officer. But a Boone narcotics investigator who was investigating Vinnece sought her help getting into his home without a warrant last year. Unlike police, parole officers can conduct warrantless searches to check on parolees. The search uncovered some marijuana and led to charges against Vinnece. But a judge dismissed the case after ruling the search violated his rights. White has appealed her firing, contending she acted appropriately.

The Iowa Department of Transportation  is restoring limited mobility at the Interstate 29 and Iowa 2 interchange in southwest Iowa today (Wednesday). Officials say all interstate ramps are now open. Iowa 2 east of the interchange is fully open, but Iowa 2 west of 210th Avenue remains closed due to flood damage. Fuel and other services are now accessible at this interchange.

Some limited mobility is expected to be restored to Iowa 2 west of 210th Avenue by late August. We are working on an extensive long-range plan to modify Iowa 2 to help mitigate future flooding impacts. A contract has been awarded to re-align the levee and build an overflow bridge. That work is anticipated to be complete next Spring.

Other flood-related closures continue on Iowa 275 and Iowa 333. Travelers should check 511ia.org, the Iowa 511 mobile apps or call 511 (within Iowa) or 800-288-1047 (nationwide) for up-to-date closure information on state-owned roadways across Iowa. Closures due to flooding can be viewed by turning on the incident layer on the online map and mobile app.
