There were no serious injuries reported in two separate Guthrie County accidents over the past week. The first occurred at approximately 11:00 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 3 at the Springbrook campground north of Guthrie Center. Fifty-four-year-old Dawn Christine Murphy of Des Moines was backing a camper into a spot with a 2015 Ford F-150 and struck a 2018 Toyota Tundra that was parked in the grass. There was an estimated $2,500 in damage to the Toyota and $1,000 to the camper. The second accident was at approximately 2:17 p.m. Tuesday at the intersection of Chimra Road and Highway 4. A 17-year-old female from Bagley was northbound on Highway 4 in a 2006 Buick LaCrosse behind a 2005 Chevrolet Impala, driven by 68-year-old Mickey Allen Lynde of Panora. Lynde was slowing for a vehicle in front of him that was making a left turn and was rear-ended by the Buick. There was an estimated $3,000 in damage to the Lynde car and $15,000 in damage to the LaCrosse. The teenager complained of suspected minor injuries, but was not transported for treatment. She was cited for failure to stop at a safe and sure distance.
