A woman from Malvern was injured Saturday during a motorcycle accident in Mills County. Sheriff’s officials say Mary Holbrook, of Malvern, was transported by helicopter to Creighton University Medical Center in Omaha following the accident, which took place just after 6-p.m. Saturday on Main Street, in Malvern. According to the Sheriff’s report, a 1999 Ford driven by Jesse Perkins, of Hastings, was backing out of a private driveway onto Main Street, when Perkins noticed Holbrook’s 1996 Kawasaki approaching southbound.

Perkins drove back into the drive, but Holbrook braked hard and laid the motorcycle on its side. There was no contact between the vehicles.

And, no injuries were reported after a 1994 Ford driven by Zane Carter, of Thurman, hit a parked vehicle on 225th Street in Mills County, early Saturday morning. Carter was subsequently arrested for OWI/2nd offense.
