Area accidents send three to hospital

Friday morning around 8 a.m. two Drexel women were injured in a single car accident on A Highway about three miles West of Archie. An Eastbound 2000 Pontiac driven by Ashley Davis, 22, traveled off the right side of the roadway, overcorrected, returned to the right side of the roadway into a ditch and struck a culvert. Davis and a passenger, Mallory Mager, 19, were transported to Research Hospital in Kansas City with moderate injuries.

Last night around 10:20 p.m. two Rockville residents received minor injuries in an accident at the intersection of CR 230 and CR 1501 when the 1998 Isuzu driven by Thomas L. Evans, 54, of Rockville traveled off the right side of the roadway and struck a tree. Passenger Sheila A. Prater, 43, also of Rockville was transported to Ellett Memorial Hospital in Appleton City for treatment.

Vehicles in both accidents were a total loss.

Things That Go Bump In the Night

As we head further into the fall, there are a number of activities going on in the surrounding community to keep in mind. Previously, we have discussed safety tips for hunting, which is one of the biggest activities this time of year for citizens of all ages. But another event lurking around the corner with its candy bag open and waiting for treats is Halloween. As we prepare our children and ourselves for this fun-filled tradition, let’s try to make sure we make this a safe holiday for all our little costumed goblins.

Mass distribution for tomorrow postponed until next week

The mass distribution previously scheduled for tomorrow at the Butler Community Food Pantry has been cancelled.

The distribution has been rescheduled for next Saturday, Oct. 29th, 8:30 to 11:30 a.m.
