(Glenwood, Iowa) – The Mills County Sheriff’s Office says no injuries were reported following two separate accidents that took place over the past few days. On Jan. 14th at around 6:42-p.m., a 2000 International Snow Plow driven by 48-year-old David Hoose, of Malvern, and a 1997 Ford driven by 45-year-old Sean Hicks, of Emerson, collided at the intersection of 2nd Avenue and W. 7th Street. The accident happened as the Ford was heading westbound on 7th, down a hill. The vehicle went out of control and was unable to stop before it collided with the snow plow. Both vehicles were driven from the scene.

The other Mills County accident happened at around today (Mon., Jan. 17th) at around 8:16-a.m.  Authorities say a 2019 Chevy driven by 41-year-old Candace Kreifels, of Glenwood, and a 2022 Hyundai driven by 35-year-old Shelli McVaney, of Pacific Junction, collided at the intersection of 195th Street and Eastman Road. The report says the Chevy was traveling west on Eastman Road, while the Hyundai was southbound on 195th.

The Chevy entered the intersection that happened to be slick due to the weather. The vehicle slid across into the southbound lane while trying to go north. The Chevy struck the Hyundai on the left rear wheel, causing the vehicle to spin around. Officials say the Chevy’s airbags deployed upon impact. Both vehicles came to rest on the west side of the intersection. Authorities say while Kreifels was at fault, no citations were issued.
