(Corrects to show accident happened Saturday morning…not Sunday)
An accident late SATURDAY morning in Red Oak involving six vehicles caused a total of $16,200 damage, but no one was injured. Red Oak Police responded to the Fareway Store parking lot in Red Oak, at around 11:05-a.m., Saturday. On the scene they determined 80-year old David Howes, of Red Oak, was attempting to park his 2017 Toyota van, when his foot slipped off the brake pedal and stepped on the accelerator pedal.
The van struck a legally parked, unattended 2009 Mitsubishi owned by Michael Nelson, of Red Oak, damaging the right front quarter panel and wheel. The Toyota then struck an unoccupied, legally parked 2009 Toyota SUV owned by Harvey Birkey, of Red Oak. The impact knocked the SUV out of gear, causing it to roll south through the Fareway parking lot and over the curb into a separate parking lot, where the SUV struck a 1999 Plymouth van on the driver’s side rear. The van was registered to Shari Ann Wheeler, of Hamburg.
The impact forced the van to slide into the driver’s rear side of a 2013 Chevy Equinox SUV registered to Chavis Wise, of Red Oak. At the same time, Howes’ vehicle struck a 1997 Chevy pickup in the rear. That vehicle was registered to Tyler Jenning, of Red Oak. The impact pushed the pickup forward into another, seventh vehicle, which was gone before officers arrived. They were told, however, that the 7th vehicle sustained no damage.
No citations were issued since the accident happened on private property.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – University of Iowa biomedical engineering students have helped an 8-year-old boy who was born without most of his right arm to ride a bike. The Iowa City Press-Citizen reports that Jonny Cole was having difficulty learning to ride because neither he nor his father, Douglas Cole, could figure out how to keep him balanced long enough to move a bike forward.
Douglas, a Ph.D. student in linguistics at the University of Iowa, asked the university’s machine shop last summer to help him design and 3-D print an adaptive device that would help Jonny ride. They referred him to the biomedical engineering program, where four students decided to help.
Alicia Truka says the group developed a “one-jointed arm for his bike.” The handlebar attachment helps him balance and steer.
