Special to the Times Vedette

Guthrie County Deputy Sheriff Josh Armstrong reported a single-vehicle accident occurring on June 28 at 2 a.m. Siri Juliana Barlow, 18, of Waukee, was driving a 2023 Chevy Blazer  northbound on Wagon Road. At the Morrisburg Church left-hand curve, Barlow drove straight off the road and continued in the grass to follow the curve of the road. She struck and broke a Guthrie County owned curve indicator sign and struck and destroyed a mailbox belonging to the homeowner at 2692 Wagon Road. Barlow over-corrected, driving across the road over a strip of piled gravel, being used for shoulder repair of Wagon Road, and rolled onto the Blazer’s top in the west side ditch of Wagon Road.
