The Mills County Sheriff’s Office reports two people were injured during two recent, separate accidents. Authorities say on Monday, a vehicle driven by 24-year old Yamini Chebrolu, of Clarinda, was traveling south on Highway 59 at around 10-p.m., when her 2013 Chevy began to pull hard to the left for no apparent reason. She tried to correct the vehicles’ course, but over-corrected, causing the vehicle to enter a ditch. The vehicle then struck a driveway embankment in the ditch, vaulted over the driveway and landed on an embankment on the west side of the road before rolling over and coming to rest on its top. Chebrolu was treated at the scene by Emerson and Red Oak EMS, before being transported by LifeNet helicopter to a hospital.

Late Sunday morning, a 2018 Chevy driven by 52-year old Deborah Koperski, of Glenwood, was traveling north on Levi Road. A second Chevy was traveling south in the wrong lane, forcing Koperski to take to the shoulder of the road. The roadway was recently re-done, and had high, uneven shoulders. When Koperski’s vehicle hit a driveway, it went airborne and dove nose-first into a ditch. Koperski was injured and transported by Glenwood Rescue to Mercy Hospital.
