Two people from Crawford County were injured during a single-vehicle accident early this (Saturday) morning, on Atlantic’s east side. Atlantic Police Sgt. Cody Eckles told KJAN news 24-year old Megan Teneyck stated a rear tire blew out on her 2010 Dodge Avenger, as the vehicle was traveling eastbound on 7th Street (Highway 6), at around 12:02-a.m. The car went out of control and skidded for about 19-feet before hitting a brick pillar on the grounds of the Atlantic Catholic Cemetery, on the south side of the road.
Eckles said Teneyck and her unidentified male passenger complained of injuries. The male was transported by Medivac Ambulance to the Cass County Memorial Hospital and later flown by LifeNet helicopter to another facility. Dispatch reports at the time said he had suffered head injuries and was in-and-out of consciousness.
Damage from the crash amounted to $13,000. No citations were issued.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – John Inman shot a 7-under 65 on Friday at the Wakonda Club to take a two-stroke lead in the PGA Tour Champions’ Principal Charity Classic.
It’s the first time Inman, a two-time winner on the PGA Tour, has ever led after the opening round on the senior circuit. Inman’s milestone round came three days after he won a qualifying event at a nearby course.
Tom Lehman, who has never finished outside of the top 10 in four previous trips to Iowa, was tied for second with Todd Hamilton, Gary Hallberg, Mike Goodes and John Riegger. Miguel Angel Jimenez opened with a 68 in his first start in the event. John Daly, also making Des Moines debut, had a 74.
ST. LOUIS (AP) – Johnny Cueto worked around a season-worst five walks to post his ninth win, tying for the major league lead, as the San Francisco Giants beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-1 on Friday night. Cueto (9-1) allowed a run on four hits in six innings with one strikeout. He hadn’t walked more than two in any of his first 11 starts for his new team.
Cueto is among four nine-game winners, joining Stephen Strasburg, Jake Arrieta and Chris Sale. Six of Cueto’s victories have come on the road. Five Giants relievers combined to give up just one hit. Adam Wainwright (5-4) allowed two runs in seven innings. The Cardinals were held to one run for the second straight game.
Two people were injured during a single-vehicle accident early this (Saturday) morning, on Atlantic’s east side. Atlantic Police Sgt.

Eckles said the driver and a male passenger were injured, but the extent of their injuries was not immediately known.

A nine-year old female was listed in critical condition Friday at Blank Children’s Hospital in Des Moines, following what was described as a likely medical emergency in the pool at the Stuart Aquatic Center. According to the Stuart Police Department, officers and Stuart Rescue personnel responded to the center at around 2:40-p.m, after they received word about an unresponsive juvenile female.
When emergency services arrived they were directed to an unconscious female child who was with lifeguards at the pool. Lifeguards were performing CPR at the time of the emergency services arrival. Stuart Police and Stuart Rescue immediately began providing medical care to the child. The child was stabilized and transported by ambulance to the Stuart landing pad located on SW 7th St, and later transported by Mercy One to Blank Children’s Hospital in Des Moines.
As of the most recent report, authorities said it is believed that the child suffered a medical emergency while in the pool, however an investigation will continue into the incident. Witnesses and staff at the Aquatics Center said that lifeguards immediately noticed that there was a problem with the child while she was swimming in the pool and jumped in to save her.
Due to privacy concerns, HIPPA and the age of the child, no further information will be released regarding the identity or medical history of the child.
