A man from Nebraska was injured during an accident that occurred at around 5:25-a.m. today (Monday), when a semi swerved to miss a deer. The Mills County Sheriff’s Office reports 30-year old Eduardo Bandera-Angeles, of Frement, NE., was traveling south on I-29 in a 2000 Dodge, when the semi tractor-trailer near him swerved for a deer on the road. In doing so, the semi forced Bandera-Angeles’ vehicle to enter the west ditch, where it struck a tree. Bandera-Angeles was transported by Glenwood Rescue to Jennie Edmundsen Hospital.

And, a woman from Red Oak was transported to the Montgomery County Memorial Hospital on Sept. 3rd, after her 2012 Hyundai made contact with the tire on an oversize load a the vehicles met on a bridge. Authorities say 32-year old Gina McDonald was traveling north on Highway 59, and a 1999 semi driven by Troy Putnam, of Underwood was traveling south.

Putnam had to steer his semi toward the center of the bridge over Highway 34, and was already on the bridge when he saw the car approaching. He flashed his lights to warn McDonald, but she continued onto the bridge. The oversize tire on the semi clipped the cars’ side view mirror, causing the driver’s door window to shatter.
