The Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office reports two recent accidents. On Monday, vehicles driven by 45-year old Andrew T. Baker, and 29-year old Cody Tyler Matthewson, both of Guthrie Center, collided at around 5:15-p.m. at the intersection of North and 6th Streets in Guthrie Center. When Baker failed to yield the right of way, his 2005 Cadillac Deville struck in the left rear, a 2020 Chevy Silverado pickup, driven by Matthewson. No injuries were reported, and no citations were issued, although authorities noted Baker was driving too fast for the snowy road conditions. Damage amounted to $3,000 altogether.

Just before 8-a.m. Tuesday, a 2013 Chevy Equinox driven by 15-year old Hauper P. Bireline-Huss, of Adair, was traveling east on 310th Street in Guthrie County, when the SUV went out of control on the snow-covered road. The vehicle entered the south ditch and rolled onto the driver’s side. Bireline-Huss, who was wearing her seat belt, was extricated from the vehicle by non-mechanical means. She complained of pain and possible injury, but was not transported to the hospital. The SUV sustained $4,000 damage.
