One person was injured during an accident Tuesday, in Page County. Sheriff Lyle Palmer reports 69-year old Donald Lee Ridnour, of Clarinda, was transported from the scene to the Shenandoah Medical Center by Shenandoah Ambulance. The collision happened at around 10:19-a.m., Tuesday. The Sheriff says 45-year old Teresa Deann Madison, of Clarinda, was stopped at the intersection of Highways 2 and 59, and waiting for traffic to clear to continue westbound on Highway 2. Madison was the driver and only occupant of a 2010 Kia Sedona van. Donald Ridnour was traveling westbound on Highway 2 approaching the intersection in a 1994 Plymouth van, when he failed to stop.

Both vehicles are considered totaled. Charges are pending. The Page County Sheriff’s Office was assisted at the scene by the Shenandoah Police Department, Shenandoah Fire Department, and Shenandoah Ambulance.

And, no injuries were reported following an accident at 5:03-a.m. Monday, in Page County. Sheriff Palmer says 22-year old Haley Lynne Fundermann, of rural Red Oak, was traveling north on O Avenue near the intersection with 180th Street, when the 2006 Mercury Montego she was driving struck five cows on the road. The cows were the property of Norman Buch, of Clarinda. Palmer says there was dense fog in the area at the time, obscuring visibility of the stray animals. All five cows died in the accident. The vehicle was totaled.
