The most recent incident took place at approximately 2:55 p.m. Friday near Industrial Drive. The related document indicates that 41-year-old Maribel Guzman was driving a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup.

The report lists no injuries and no citations. The damage estimate for each vehicle is listed as $1,500.
A separate accident happened at around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday on Highway 30. The 2013 Chevrolet Silverado pickup driven by 74-year-old Robert Ettleman of Dow City was slowing to turn south into the Pit Stop Auto Wash. Police determined after reviewing video from the car wash that the 2015 GMC Terrain piloted by 87-year-old Norma Berens of Denison swerved to avoid the slowing Chevy truck. Berens later told police she couldn't stop and the report lists her brake system as a vehicle defect. The video indicates Ettleman already turning into the car wash and the Terrain running into the passenger side of the Silverado. Ettleman's pickup stopped in the grass in front of Arnold Motor Supply. Berens' Terrain continued on and nearly struck the Arnold Motor Supply building before coming to a stop in the El Charro parking lot. Berens later complained of pain at the scene. Ettleman reported no injury. Police issued no citations. The disabled Terrian is expected to cost $6,000 to repair while the damage estimate for the Silverado is $2,000.
