Two crashes investigated by State Troopers in the area counties on Saturday left two drivers with minor injuries.
At about 4:30 am in Daviess County, Troopers responded to a crash on Highway 13, three miles north of Hamilton, where a 56-year-old Polo woman was northbound and swerved to avoid a deer. She ran off the east side of the road and struck a sign and a fence. She was taken to Cameron Regional Medical Center for treatment of minor injuries.
At about 4:35 pm in Caldwell County, a two-vehicle crash on US 36 near Breckenridge left one driver injured. State Troopers report the crash occurred when a 55-year-old Shawnee, KS, man was westbound and a 36-year-old Lawson man was northbound on NE Panther Road. The Lawson man attempted to stop, but skidded into the westbound vehicle and struck the vehicle on the driver’s side. The Westbound vehicle went off the north side of the road, struck a guardrail, returned to the road, and overturned, coming to rest on its top. The Shawnee, KS, man had minor injuries and was taken to Liberty Hospital for treatment
