The Union County Sheriff’s Office says 22-year old Madison Jane Selvy, of Creston, was transported to the Greater Regional Hospital in Creston, after the 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee she was driving went off the edge off northbound Highway 25 at around 1:45-p.m., Tuesday. Selvy tried to bring the SUV back onto the pavement, but then lost control. The vehicle entered the east ditch, where it rolled over and landed on its top.

On Jan. 21st, 18-year old Jesse Daylon Vicker, of Creston, was transported by private vehicle to the hospital in Creston, after the 2004 Chevy 2500 pickup she was driving, went out of control after hitting a patch of ice on 205th Street, in Union County.
