The Mills County Sheriff’s Office reports one person was injured during an accident Friday evening, southeast of Glenwood. Officials say Annette Harris, a passenger in a 2003 Ford was transported to Jennie Edmundson Hospital by Glenwood Rescue following a collision that happened at around 6:10-p.m. at the intersection of Highway 34 and Kidd Road.

The accident occurred when a 2003 Mazda driven by Micah Brauch, of Glenwood, attempted to cross Highway 34 from northbound Kidd Road, and field to yield to the Ford, which was traveling west on Highway 34. The vehicles collided, causing the Mazda to spin around and stop on the shoulder. The Ford, driven by John Harris, of Red Oak, rolled onto its top and landed back on its wheels in the ditch. Brauch was cited by deputies for Failure to Yield.

And, no serious injuries were reported following an accident that happened at around 6-p.m. Sunday, near 180th and Ingrum Avenue, in Mills County. Authorities say William Tattersall, of Glenwood, was attempted to do a burn out, when his 1978 Ford went out of control and entered the east ditch, where it hit an embankment and rolled onto its top. Tattersall and his passenger suffered minor injuries, but did not require transport to the hospital. Tattersall was cited for Careless Driving and Failure to Maintain Control.
