(Clarinda) A Clarinda woman was transported to the hospital following a single-vehicle accident in Page County this morning.
The Page County Sheriff’s Office responded to the accident in the 1400 block of Redwood Avenue, approximately four miles north of Clarinda, at 7:47 a.m. The investigation showed that 58-year-old Machelle Dawn Graham was operating a 1999 Ford Ranger southbound on Redwood when she lost control of the vehicle, swerving several times in the road. The vehicle rolled before coming to rest in the west ditch on the passenger side. During the roll of the vehicle, Graham was ejected and was located by passersby approximately 20 feet south of where the vehicle came to rest.
Graham was transported to Clarinda Regional Health Center with unknown injuries.
Damage to the Graham vehicle is estimated at $3,000 and is considered a total loss. Charges are pending from this accident.
