(Guthrie County, Iowa) – A man who escaped injury during an accident Sunday evening in Guthrie County, received four citations in connection with the incident. The Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office says an investigation determined 61-year-old Peter Aldrich Kelloway, of Panora, swerved to miss a deer while traveling south on Sage Trail north of 190th Street, at around 4:20-p.m. The 2013 Chevy Malibu had apparently spun 360 degrees until it entered the west ditch and came to rest. The vehicle sustained $15,000 damage. Kelloway was not with his vehicle when authorities arrived.

The report says when Kelloway was located later at his residence, the Deputy found the man appeared to be “heavily intoxicated.” Kelloway admitted to have “one or two drinks” before the accident took place. He was cited for:

• Failure to Maintain Control
• Failure to give notice of address change
• Leaving the scene of a property damage accident, and,
• Failure to maintain or use seat belts as an adult.
