A Sheriff’s Deputy from Guthrie County was injured during a crash between a car and a Sheriff’s Department SUV. The Iowa State Patrol reports Deputy Kent Gries, of Guthrie Center, who was wearing his seat belt, suffered minor injuries, and was transported by Guthrie County EMS to the Guthrie County Hospital, following the crash that occurred at around 3-p.m. Tuesday on the northwest side of Bagley.
Authorities say Deputy Gries was traveling east on Highway 141 in a 2015 Chevy Tahoe, when a 2004 Hyundai Elantra traveling south on Quail Road, failed to stop at the intersection. The car struck the SUV on the driver’s side door, causing the SUV to spin and enter a ditch. The car, driven by 20-year old Kylee Sheeder, of Panora, came to rest on the road.
Sheeder, who was not wearing a seat belt, told authorities she had no recollection of failing to obey the stop sign. The incident was captured on the SUV’s dash cam.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – The Republican-majority House has passed several bills that would expand gun rights in Iowa, including legislation that would allow children under 14 to use handguns with parental supervision. The House voted Tuesday in support of five gun bills that now head to the Democratic-controlled Senate, where it’s unclear if they will get enough support to advance.
The legislation includes a measure that would restrict public access to information about gun owners and another bill that would allow people to use their guns in a state of emergency. Another bill would legalize the use of suppressors.
Rep. Matt Windschitl, a Republican from Missouri Valley, says the bills protect Second Amendment rights. Rev. Cheryl Thomas, with Iowans for Gun Safety, says some of the legislation is designed to weaken Iowa’s gun laws.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) – A new Purdue University study says grain bin entrapments and other confined space accidents on the nation’s farms fell to their lowest level in a decade last year. Iowa led the nation with seven incidents.
Purdue’s study shows the U.S. had 47 entrapments in grain bins and other confined spaces in 2015. That’s 34 percent less than 2014’s 71 entrapments and the fewest since 46 were recorded in 2006. Purdue says 25 people died last year in entrapments, down from 31 in 2014.
But Bill Field, a Purdue professor of agricultural safety and health, says many nonfatal entrapments go unreported each year because there’s no mandatory national reporting system.
In addition to Iowa, other states reporting grain bin entrapment deaths include: Arkansas, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Wisconsin and South Dakota.
