The Mills County Sheriff’s Office, Thursday, reported the arrest of 35-year-old Daniel John Vornbrock, from Glenwood. He was arrested for Driving while barred, Possession of a Controlled Substance, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Bond was set at $4,300.

Sheriff’s officials said also, a single-vehicle accident that took place at around 8:45-a.m. Tuesday, resulted in one person being transported to the hospital. Authorities say 63-year-old Mark Blair, of Stanton, was driving a 2007 Mack truck eastbound on Highway 34 eight mile-marker for Glenwood, and approaching the intersection of the off-ramp and 221st Street. When he attempted to turn right (South) onto 221st, the vehicle went out of control and rolled onto its side on 221st, dumping a load of dirt the truck was carrying across the northbound lanes.

Glenwood Fire Department personnel extricated Blair from the truck by mechanical means. He was then flown by helicopter to the hospital. An initial investigation determined there were skid marks about 52-feet long past the stop sign, traversing the corner. Authorities say that indicates the truck did not stop at the stop sign, and was traveling at a speed which, combined with the turn, resulted in the vehicle overturning.
