The Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office says no injuries were reported following a single-vehicle accident Wednesday night. The crash was discovered Thursday morning. Authorities say the driver of a 2014 Dodge Ram Truck had left the scene. When he was interviewed Thursday, 28-year old Schyler Andrew Knudsen, of Coon Rapids, told authorities he swerved to miss a deer while entering a right-hand curve on Justice Road. His pickup struck a curve warning sign and entered the northwest ditch before hitting a tree.

Damage to the pickup was estimated to be $12,000. The Guthrie County Secondary Roads Dept. sign sustained an estimated $250 damage. Knudsen was cited for Failure to Maintain Control.
