Atlantic Head Coach Kathy Hobson: “Going into meet we knew it would be a battle with Creston.  Alyssa Ginther played even with Rylie through 15 holes. Unfortunately for her a couple shots didn’t fall like she wanted.  But very competitive match. Baylee had a super day for us coming in with 81 and Runner-Up finish.  As I said after our tournament last week, having Alyssa, Baylee and Rylie all in the same playing group would have been fun to watch. Lauren got handicapped out of 12th place.  She is really coming around for us right now.  Postseason play is fast approaching.  We’ve had a great season so far but for us to continue to meet our goals we have to be able to stay mentally focused, play against the course rather than our competition and bunch our scoring.”

3 injuries reported in Mills County chain-reaction collision, Friday evening

Three people in one vehicle were injured during a chain-reaction collision late Friday evening, in Mills County. Authorities report a juvenile male in a 2009 Dodge suffered a head injury and was transported to the hospital by Malvern Rescue. Two other occupants of the same vehicle, suffered minor injuries, and were also transported to the hospital. Drivers and passengers in the remaining vehicles were assessed at the scene by Malvern and Glenwood Rescue Squads.

Officials say the accident happened while the Dodge, driven by 24-year old Kellin Chambers, of Council Bluffs, was stopped on Highway 34, waiting to turn left into a driveway. 21-year old Quentin Dumler, of Shenandoah, was driving a 2002 Chevrolet and reached to grab his phone charge. He didn’t realize Chambers’ vehicle, and one behind it driven by 33-year old Michelle Holmes, of Council Bluffs, were stopped on the road.

Dumler said he looked up and saw brake lights, but was unable to stop. His vehicle hit Holmes’ 1999 Buick, which then hit the Dodge. The initial collision caused Dumler’s vehicle to veer into the westbound lane of Highway 34, where it was struck by a 2018 Chevy driven by 31-year old Nicholas Edwards, of Kansas City, MO. Following the collision, Edwards’ vehicle went into the north ditch and rolled once before coming to rest on its wheels.

Dumler’s car went off the road and came to rest in the grass north of Highway 34. The other two vehicles came to rest on the south shoulder of the road. The Sheriff’s report did not indicate if charges were filed or any citations were issued.

OXFORD, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa State Patrol has identified three children who died in a crash on Interstate 80 near Coralville after a truck hit a car trying to cross from westbound lanes to the eastbound freeway.

Edwards and another 11-year-old child were taken to University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.

The truck driver wasn’t injured.
