No serious injuries were reported following two separate accidents over the weekend, in Atlantic. According to the Police Department, an accident Friday afternoon at the intersection of 7th and Poplar Streets caused $4,000 damage, and resulted in a citation for Failure to Yield. Officials say a vehicle driven by Robert Zimmerman, of Lewis, was westbound on 7th Street at around 2:45-p.m., when an eastbound vehicle driven by Charles Bannister, of Valley, NE, turned in front of Zimmerman, in an attempt to head north on Poplar Street. Bannister was cited for Failure to Yield while making a left turn. Both drivers were checked out by crews with Medivac ambulance, but refused transport to the hospital.

The other accident happened at around 11:45-a.m. Saturday, in the Casey’s west parking lot. A vehicle operated by Sarah Scott, of Lewis, was backing out of a stall when it struck a parked vehicle registered to the Casey’s store. The damage amounted to $1,800.
