The Page County Sheriff’s Office says no injuries were reported following two separate accidents earlier this week. Officials say 16-year old Jacob Baker, of New Market, was cited for Failure to Maintain Control following an accident Wednesday afternoon, east of Clarinda. The teen was driving a 2001 Ford Ranger pickup east on 210th Street and rounding a curve, when he lost control. The pickup left the road and entered a ditch, where it struck some trees head-on. Officials say the truck sustained $5,000 damage, and was considered to be a total loss.

The second accident in Page County happened Tuesday morning, southwest of Clarinda. The Sheriff’s Department says 33-year old Aaron Roberts, of Clarinda, was cited for Failure to Maintain Control, after the 2009 Chevy straight truck he was driving left 230th Street, entered a ditch and rolled onto its passenger side and slid to a stop. Damage to the truck, registered to Snap On Tools, in Kenosha, WI., was estimated at $50,000. The vehicle was considered to be a total loss.
