One person was injured during an accident Thursday afternoon, in Union County. The Sheriff’s Office says 38-year old Jennifer Hodgkins, of Creston, was transported by ambulance to the Greater Regional Medical Center in Creston, after she lost control of her SUV due to obstructed vision, and entered a ditch. Her 2002 Chevy Suburban rolled over and came to rest on its top. Hodgkins, who was wearing her seat belt, suffered possible, unknown injuries.

The accident happened at around 3-p.m., Thursday. Sheriff’s Officials say Hodgkins was traveling north on Pole Road and saw a truck traveling south. A strong gust of wind blew gravel dust from the truck into the path of the Chevy, causing Hodgkins to not see where she was going.  Her SUV sustained $3,000 damage.

And, a Lorimor man escaped injury after the 2005 Chevy pickup he was driving struck a Black Angus cow on the road Friday night. The accident happened at around 8-p.m., on U-S Highway 169, in Union County. Sheriff’s officials say 23-year old Brandon Decker, of Lorimor, was traveling south on 169 when the accident occurred. The cow, owned by Steven Raymie, of Lorimor, was valued at $2,500. Decker’s truck sustained $8,000 damage, and was declared a total loss.

The Sheriff’s Office said also, an Afton man reported Friday night, that some time, possibly on Wednesday, someone entered his farm building in Lorimor and took his grey/teal colored Kawasaki 275 4-wheeler.  The loss was estimated at $2000.
