DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate says Iowa residents with a state driver’s license or photo ID will be able to register online to vote by Jan. 1, ahead of the original November goal. The Iowa Voter Registration Commission approved in January a rule allowing qualified voters to visit a website where they can input the numbers on their state-issued driver’s license or photo ID to register.

Information from the Iowa Department of Transportation, including the voter’s signature, will be imported into voter registration forms and automatically forwarded to the state’s voter database. Voters without a license or ID or those without internet service may still register by filling out paper applications. Pate estimates 93 percent of eligible voters can use the online system for voter registration.

The Union County Sheriff’s Office says a rollover accident early this (Thursday) morning, resulted in possible/unknown injuries to the only occupant of the vehicle, but that person was not transported to the hospital. Officials say 28-year old Lyndsey Marie Cottrell, of Creston, was driving a 1999 Chevy Monte Carlo LS east on Highway 34 north of Kent at around 4:05-a.m., when the car went out of control and drifted onto the shoulder. Cottrell over-corrected, sending the car into the south ditch, where it hit a fence and rolled over before landing on its wheels. Damage from the crash amounted to $3,750.

And, a man from Afton and teenager from Osceola reported minor/Possible injuries following an accident that took place Wednesday afternoon, on Highway 34. 18-year old Zachary Carlo was traveling west on Highway 34 at around 4:50-p.m., when a trailer being pulled by Carlo’s 1993 Chevy pickup, began to fishtail. The action caused Carlo to lose control of the pickup, which entered the north ditch and rolled over, causing the trailer, which was loaded with an unregistered pickup truck, to separate from its tow vehicle.

The unregistered pickup then became separated from the trailer, and came to rest in the ditch. The Sheriff’s report says Zachary Carlo, who was wearing his seat belt, was ejected through a side window of the pickup. His passenger,17-year old Carly Kistler, of Osceola, was also wearing a seat belt, but suffered unknown/possible injuries. Neither was transported to the hospital.

Damage from the accident amounted to $5,000.
