(Guthrie Center, Iowa) – Sheriff’s officials in Guthrie County today (Monday), say there were three, non-injury accidents that took place between Thursday and Saturday. At around 6:45-p.m. Saturday, a 2016 Ford F-150 driven by 33-year-old Kate R. Holtz, of Carroll, was traveling west on Highway 141, when the pickup struck a deer. The vehicle sustained an estimated $15,000 damage.

On Friday, at around 4:20-p.m., a collision occurred in the A.C./G.C. High School parking lot. Authorities say 17-year-old Keitn D. Kinney, of Guthrie Center, was driving a legally parked 2003 Chevy Silverado pickup, and pulling out of a parking stall, when he turned too short, causing his vehicle to strike the driver’s side bumper/headlight area of a 2002 Ford Ranger. Damage to the Ford was estimated at $2,000. The Chevy sustained about $5,000 damage. No citations were issued.

And, at around 1:25-p.m. Thursday, a 2012 Ford F-650 Super Duty moving van driven by 26-year-old Tyler Scott Stewart, of Indianola, was backing up in the 100 block of N. 6th Street in Guthrie Center, so he could turn west into the 500 block of Main Street. In doing so, Stewart failed to notice a legally parked 2015 Chevy Silverado pickup as it was in the yard at 102 N. 5th Street. The truck backed into the grill of the pickup, causing minor damage to the grill guard, fender and headlight assembly of the Chevy. The cost of the damage was estimated at $1,000. No citations were issued.
