The Mills County Sheriff’s Office reports a man from Ohio was injured during a single-vehicle accident Thursday night. 60-year-old Bruce Kohler, of North Canton, OH, was driving a 2008 Ford northbound on the Interstate 29 on-ramp from Bunge Road at around 10:30-p.m., when his vehicle drove off the right side of the road and struck a light pole on the east side of the highway. Authorities say Kohler was suspected of being impaired by alcohol. He was transported by Silver City Rescue to Jennie Edmundson Hospital.

And, no injuries were reported following an accident Saturday afternoon, in Mills County. Officials say a 2004 Buick driven by 45-year-old Jesse Hemsworth, of Glenwood, and a 2021 Ford driven by 19-year-old Ethan Fisher, of Pacific Junction, were both traveling west on Bunge Road at around 1:30-p.m., when Fisher slowed to turn left, onto 195th Street. Hemsworth didn’t realize Fisher was turning, and was unable to avoid the rear-end collision. The impact caused damage to the rear rack on the Ford, and suspension damage to the Buick.
