The Mills County Sheriff’s Office reports a Hastings woman was injured this (Tuesday) morning, during an accident one-mile north of Silver City. 26-year old Sheena Winchel was transported to Jennie Edmundson Hospital in Council Bluffs following the crash, which happened at around 12:30-a.m., on 287th Street.

Officials say Winchel was traveling south on 287th, about one-half mile north of Cary Avenue, when the 2001 Dodge van she was driving crossed into the northbound lane and then onto the east shoulder for about 110-feet. When Winchel over corrected, the van went out of control and skidded 43-feet into the west embankment before it stood on-end, and came to rest facing north, without having rolled over.
