The Mills County Sheriff’s Office reports two people were injured during separate accidents this week. Monday afternoon, Charlotte Herman, of Glenwood, was transported to Jennie Edmundson Hospital in Council Bluffs, after she lost control of her 2013 Ford as she was attempting to make a right turn from southbound 221st Street onto 225th Street. Her vehicle went off the road and hit a street marker sign. It then continued on the grass and hit a utility pole before rolling over a retaining wall and coming to rest on its left side.

The second accident happened Tuesday, when vehicles driven by Latressa Price, of Omaha, and David Shaughnessy, of Bellevue, NE, collided near a saddle and tack shop at 18818 Bunge Avenue. Officials say Price was attempting to pull out of a drive onto Bunge Avenue. She stopped and failed to see any approaching vehicles before continuing her turn. As she pulled away from the drive, her 2006 Honda was hit on the left side by a 1996 Ford, driven by Shaughnessy.

Both drivers suffered injuries in the crash. Shaughnessy was transported to Jennie Edmundson Hospital by Glenwood Rescue. Price was taken to an unknown hospital by personal vehicle. Authorities say she was cited for Failure to Yield upon entering a through highway.

Sheriff’s officials in Union County say a man from Lorimor reported this week, that someone had entered his storage shed and stolen 100-pounds of copper wire, an electric drill, a battery charger, hand tools and wrenches.  The theft happened sometime over the past few days. The loss was estimated at $550.

And, a rollover accident Wednesday night in Union County resulted in one person being sent to the hospital. Sheriff’s officials say 27-year old Tara Lynn Mickael, of Creston, was driving a 2002 Buick LeSabre near the intersection of East and North Streets, in Creston, when she lost control of the car.

The vehicle entered the west ditch and flipped over, ending up on its top. The accident happened at around 8:30-p.m., Wednesday. Authorities say excessive speed was to blame for the accident. Mickael was transported to the hospital by private vehicle. She was cited for Driving While Suspended.
