An accident Friday afternoon near Anita resulted in a woman from Harrison County being injured. The Iowa State Patrol says 58-year-old Kristi Lynne Hildrith, of Logan, was transported by Anita Rescue to the Cass County Memorial Hospital, after her SUV struck a car that was making a U-turn. The accident happened at Highway 148 and Boone Road at around 2:30-p.m.

Authorities say a 2010 Honda CR-V driven by 23-year old Alexis Debra Dietz-Noel, of Ankeny, was traveling south on Highway 148, north of Boone Road. A 2016 Mazda 6 Grand Touring SUV was behind the Honda, following at a safe distance, when Dietz-Noel made a U-turn to head north on Highway 148 by entering Boone Road and re-entering the highway.

Hildrith tried to take evasive actions to avoid the Honda by crossing the center line of the road, but was unsuccessful and struck the Honda.
