An accident in Page County Thursday evening that resulted in one person being sent to the hospital by helicopter, remains under investigation. Sheriff’s officials say a 2012 Mazda CX-9 driven by 47-year old Risa Ann Gladman, of Clarinda, was traveling west on 230th Street at around 8:20-p.m., when the SUV left the road for reasons unknown.
The vehicle entered the north ditch just west of P Avenue and continued west while in the ditch before hitting a mailbox and a field drive. The impact sent the SUV airborne. It touched down and rolled over before coming to rest on the driver’s side. Gladman was transported by Mercy 3 helicopter to Creighton Medical Center in Omaha, for treatment of possible, unknown injuries. Officials say she was not wearing a seat belt. The SUV was considered a total loss.
