Officials with the Glenwood Police Department said Tuesday, no injuries were reported after a vehicle struck a street sign last Friday afternoon when the driver swerved to avoid hitting a child. The 2016 Ford F-150 driven by 29-year old Alexander Allen Applegate, of Glenwood, was traveling east on 4th Street at around 3-p.m. As he drove past a school during student pick-up hours, the traffic was heavy with vehicles and buses. Applegate told Police when a small girl ran out onto the cross walk from behind a bus, he attempted to stop, and swerved to miss the child. In doing so, his pickup went off the road and struck a “Pedestrian Crossing” sign on the shoulder of the road.

Damage to the pickup was estimated at $1,500. The City of Glenwood sign sustained about $100 damage. There were no citations issued, but Glenwood Police noted Applegate was driving too fast for conditions. And, no injuries were reported following a single-vehicle accident late Saturday night, in Glenwood near the Glenwood Resource Center. Authorities said 16-year old Lindsay Woods, of Glenwood, was driving a 2006 Toyota passenger van at around 10:15-p.m., when the vehicle went out of control on Iowa Street, which was icy at the time.

She was issued a warning for Failure to Maintain Control. Damage to the vehicle was estimated at $5,000. The Glenwood Resource Center light pole sustained $2,000 damage
