The Page County Sheriff’s Office says two people, including a juvenile, were injured during a single-vehicle accident Wednesday night, about two-miles southwest of Clarinda. Authorities report 19-year old Austin Tyler Laythe, of Villisca, was driving a 2006 Ford Ranger westbound in the 2700 block of 230th Street at around 9:15-p.m., when his pickup lost traction on the slush / snow covered roadway.

Laythe over corrected while trying to regain control of the vehicle, but it entered the north ditch and struck a fence post in the ditch before rolling onto it’s side coming to rest. Laythe and a juvenile female passenger were transported to Clarinda Regional Health Center by Clarinda Ambulance service for treatment of unknown injuries. Damage to the Ford Ranger was estimated at $8,000. No charges have been filed.
