Two passengers sustained injuries in a two-vehicle accident Wednesday in Guthrie Center. The Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office responded to the intersection of 11th Street and Iowa Highway 44 at approximately 4:20 p.m. Sixteen-year-old Paxton Kay Schneider of Adair was eastbound on Highway 44 in a 2004 Oldsmobile Alero and was coming up behind another vehicle, a 2009 Chevrolet Malibu, driven by 32-year-old Blair James Rosenbeck of Guthrie Center. The Rosenbeck vehicle was stopped and waiting for oncoming traffic to turn north onto 11th Street. Schneider told authorities she was talking with her passenger and did not see the stopped car, striking it in the rear. Neither driver suffered any injuries, but one passenger in each of the vehicles complained of suspected minor injuries and were transported by private vehicle to the Guthrie County Hospital. There was an estimated $2,000 in damage to the Schneider Oldsmobile and $5,000 in damage to the Rosenbeck car. Schneider was cited for failure to stop in an assured clear distance.
