A collision on icy roads in Montgomery County Thursday afternoon resulted in two people being transported to the hospital. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office reports the accident happened just before 2-p.m. on Highway 34, a little east of E Avenue. An investigation determined a 2002 Hyundai Sonata driven by 35-year old Leanna M. Jensen, of Shenandoah, was westbound on Highway 34, when it encountered a snow covered portion of the road. The snow caused the car to skid across the road before it struck an eastbound 2010 Toyota Highlander on the driver’s side. The Toyota was being driven by 57-year old Mark W. Euken, of Red Oak. The impact caused the SUV to enter the south ditch where it rolled over once and came to rest on its wheels. The car also came to rest in the south ditch.

All of the occupants of Jensen’s car declined medical treatment. Both occupants of the Euken SUV were extricated by Red Oak Fire and Rescue from the vehicle, by mechanical means. They were transported to the Montgomery County Memorial Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. Both vehicles were considered a total loss. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office was assisted at the scene by Red Oak Police and the Iowa State Patrol. The accident remained under investigation.
