A woman who had been reported as missing from Ackworth, in central Iowa, was involved in an unknown, possible injury accident Sunday morning, west of Thayer, in Union County. Sheriff’s officials say 66-year old Jacqueline Kay Hodson was traveling south on US Highway 169 at around 10-a.m., Sunday, when she failed to stop at the T-intersection stop sign for Highway 34. The 1996 Dodge pickup she was driving continued south across US 34 and struck an Alliant Energy power pole before ending up in a field. Authorities noted Hodson was a previous medical condition that does not allow her to drive.

The pickup sustained $3,000 damage. Damage to the power pole was also estimated at $3,000. Hodson was transported by ambulance to the hospital in Osceola, to be checked for injuries. No citations were issued.
