An accident involving a snow plow Thursday evening in Atlantic sent one person to the Cass County Memorial Hospital. Atlantic Police report the plow, driven by Nicholas Myers, of Atlantic, was pushing snow in the parking lot near the Salvation Army building and had turned to go west at the north end of the lot, when a pedestrian, Joel Dory, of Anita, was struck by the plow.

Myers told police he came around a pole and didn’t see Dory until he got around the obstruction. He applied the brakes, but the truck slid and struck Dory, who was transported to the Cass County Memorial Hospital to be treated for undisclosed injuries.

Police say no injuries were reported following an accident that happened at around 11:40-a.m., Dec. 23rd, at 9th and Walnut Streets in Atlantic. Officials say a vehicle driven by Michelle Miller, of Lewis, was traveling south on Walnut and approaching 9th Street, when her vehicle was struck by a vehicle being driven by Meagan Travis, of Council Bluffs. The accident occurred after Travis, who was traveling west on 9th, stopped at the intersection, but then not seeing Miller’s vehicle, continued into the intersection. Damage from the collision amounted to $6,000.
