The Page County Sheriff’s Office reports two recent accidents, one with injuries. At around 4-p.m. Monday (July 3rd), deputies were dispatched to a motor vehicle accident with the vehicle on its top and nobody around, at the intersection of 190^th street and F Avenue, approximately 5 miles east of Shenandoah. During the investigation, 36-year old Justin Dwayne Nelson, of Shenandoah, was found to be the driver and only occupant of the vehicle at the time of the accident.

Nelson was operating a grey 2003 Dodge Neon 4 door westbound on 190^th Street east of F Avenue.  The car went over the crest of a hill and got out of control. It started swerving in the road before entering the north ditch west of the F Avenue intersection. In the ditch, the vehicle rolled onto its top.  Nelson suffered minor injuries, and refused medical treatment when located at his residence in Shenandoah. He was cited for Failure to maintain control.  Damage to the Neon is estimated at $3000.

And, a little before 4-p.m. Saturday, Page County deputies were called to a single motorcycle accident with injuries approximately 1 mile south of Highway 2, on Maple Avenue (about a mile east of Yorktown). An investigation determined 39-year old Todd James Sands, of Georgetown, TX, was traveling north on Maple Avenue just south of 220th, when his motorcycle went out of control, due to the new oil and heat on the road surface.  Sands and a passenger entered the east ditch on the motorcycle before striking a traffic sign.  Both were transported to Clarinda Regional Health Center with unknown injuries.  No citations issued during the investigation.
