An accident Saturday afternoon in Union County caused $9,000 damage, but no one was seriously injured. The Sheriff’s Department reports a 2006 Hummer, driven by 35-year old David Ginn, of Afton, was traveling east in the 2500 block of 150th Street at around 3:25-p.m., when it met a westbound non-contact vehicle as both vehicles were cresting a hill.

When Ginn swerved to the right to make room for the other vehicle, his Hummer hit a soft spot on the shoulder, causing the vehicle to be pulled into the south ditch, where it came to rest after striking a tree and fence. Ginn was transported by ambulance to the Greater Regional Medical Center in Creston, for treatment of what were described as “Non-incapacitating” injuries. He was later cited for Driving While Suspended.

Damage to the fence, owned by Sam McKnight, was estimated at $200.
