Police in Red Oak say there were no injuries reported following a single-vehicle accident Saturday morning in the 1900 block of N. Broadway. Authorities say 44-year old Michael Lee LaFollette, of Red Oak, was traveling northbound at around 8:07-a.m., when his 2003 Jaguar S-Type sedan went out of control just before Legion Park Drive. The car skidded sideways for about 80 yards until it came to rest on the north side of the Fire Department apron, after striking the stoplight pole.

There was no damage to the pole. The Jag sustained about $8,000 damage. LaFollette was issued a written warning for Failure to Maintain Control.
