The Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office reports four accidents occurred over the past few days. Sunday evening, 16-year-old Kaidyn Stacy Dencklau, of Panora, suffered possible/unknown injuries, after her vehicle met an SUV that was left of center, at the crest of a hill. When she took evasive action by swerving to the right, the 2006 Ford Fusion she was driving went out of control southbound and began to fishtail on Rose Avenue before the car entered the ditch on the west side of Rose Avenue. The vehicle rolled over and came to rest on its wheels. Kaidyn was transported to the Guthrie County Hospital by her mother, to be checked out after she complained of pain. The car was totaled in the accident.

Later that same evening, no injuries were reported, after a tractor-trailer collided with an SUV, causing a total of $6,000 damage. Authorities say a 2016 Jeep Patriot driven by 46-year-old Kelli Ann Smith, of Guthrie Center, was traveling east on Highway 44 and beginning to turn north onto Willow Avenue. A 2017 Peterbilt semi driven by 35-year-old Benjamin K. Campbell, of Jefferson, was traveling east on Highway 44. Campbell failed to notice Smith was about to urn left onto Willow. As he was passing on the left, the back of his trailer struck the SUV.

Friday morning, a 1995 Ford van driven by 81-year-old Nickolas Nolan, of Redfield, was struck from behind by a 2014 Chevy Cruze, when the driver of the Chevy, 26-year-old Kashley Sneller, of Panora, failed to notice the Ford was stopped and waiting to turn from Highway 4 into a driveway at 2027 Highway 4. Sneller complained of pain but was not transported to the hospital. She was cited for Failure to Maintain Control. The accident caused a total of $10,000 damage.

And, Thursday night, vehicles driven by 16-year-old Kiersten Knobbe, and 15-year-old Hayden Coffman, both of Guthrie Center, collided on northbound Justice Road, just north of Highway 44 in Guthrie County. The accident happened when Knobbe slowed to turn right. The 2012 Ford Escape she was driving was struck from behind by the 2003 Pontiac Grand Am driven by Coffman. Damage from the collision amounted to $3,000.
