A man involved in an accident  in Mills County was involved in a second crash moments after the first took place Sunday afternoon, near Underwood. Sheriff’s officials on Monday, said Keith Wilson, of Glenwood, faces an OWI charge following an investigation into the incident that began at around 2-p.m., when the 1998 Plymouth he was driving went out of control on northbound 230th Street.

The vehicle rolled into the west ditch near 56525 230th Street, landed on its wheels and broke an axle. Even so, Wilson managed to drive away from the scene. He lost control of the vehicle again next 56286 230th Street, where his vehicle hit a utility pole, snapping it in half, and causing the pole to land on the vehicles’ roof.

Wilson was able to exit his vehicle. He refused medical transport and was instead taken to the Mills County Jail for further OWI investigation.  Officials say he was later taken to a hospital in Council Bluffs to be checked for injuries.

In other news, Mills County Sheriff’s officials say 36-year old Scott Jay Reed, of Glenwood, was arrested last Thursday in Glenwood, for Disorderly Conduct. And, on Saturday, Caleb Stephen Coggins, of Glenwood, was arrested for Simple Assault. Bonds for both men were set at $300.
