Sheriff’s deputies in Page County, Sunday, received a complaint about a vehicle sitting on private property that had driven through a fence in the 1400 block of Highway 71.  An investigation determined 21-year-old Brodee Allen Means, of rural Villisca, was operating a 2008 Chevy pickup northbound on Highway 71 at approximately 11:00 PM on March 13th. Means told authorities that he was the only occupant of the vehicle when it hydroplaned on the wet road, entered the west ditch, and struck a residential drive at 1465 HWY 71. The vehicle then struck a MidAmerican Energy-owned power pole before driving through a fence owned by Richard Negley. The pickup came to rest in Negley’s pasture.

Means said he then left the vehicle and went to his residence for the night. There were no injuries reported from the accident. Damages amounted to $9,000. No charges were filed.
