The Mills County Sheriff’s Office says three people were hurt in separate, recent accidents. Monday night, 19-year old Marcus Parker, of Malvern, suffered minor injuries during an accident at the intersection of Jabber Road and Keys Avenue. Parker was driving a 1997 Jeep southbound on Jabber Road at around 8:35-p.m., when he ran a posted stop sign and failed to negotiate a turn in the road because of excessive speed. The SUV went out of control and entered the north ditch before rolling onto its top. Parker was transported to Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs by private vehicle.

Last Thursday morning, 18-year old Meghan Ronk, of Malvern, was transported to Mercy Hospital by Malvern Rescue, after she lost control of a 1996 Chevy on a gravel road. The vehicle entered a ditch off of Lambert Avenue, east of 377th Street, went through a barbed-wire fence and rolled once before partially coming to rest in a harvested corn field.

Later that same morning, 26-year old Sara Kittle, of Glenwood, was transported by Glenwood Rescue to Creighton Medical Center in Omaha, after the 2001 Chevy she was driving crashed into a metal light pole, causing the pole to break-off and fall onto a power line. The incident resulted in a power outage to part of Glenwood. The accident happened as Kittle was turning from 221st Street south of Glenwood, on to ramp to eastbound Highway 34.
