Harlan Police also reported five accidents, none of which resulted in any injuries. In one incident, a 2006 Chevy 3500 pickup driven by Dalton Henscheid, of Omaha, backed into a mailbox July 5th, at 1002 Broadway Street, in Harlan. The pickup was towing on a 1963 Snow trailer, a 2014 Ford F-Series pickup registered to Justin Folley, of Harlan, when the vehicle came off the trailer. Henscheid left his pickup to go after the runaway vehicle, but did not properly put his pickup into park, first.

The pickup struck a mailbox and stopped. The other pickup rolled down the hill eastward, striking mailboxes, landscaping, an antique bell and stand for the bell, plants, a retaining wall, a parked 2000 Ford Taurus (registered to Dalton Henscheid, of Omaha), and a boat trailer. The boat trailer was knocked into a home, causing damage to the garage door.

Another incident occurred July 8th, when a 2002 Chevy Silverado driven by Ethan Leinen, of Portsmouth, was pulling into a parking spot on the east side of a building at 2111 23rd Street. The vehicle’s brakes failed, causing the pickup to cross the curb and strike the building.
