The Clay County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched on June 27 at approximately 10:50 a.m., for a report of a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of 420th Street and 270th Avenue.
The report stated that Allen Bohr, 62, of Royal, was driving southbound in the 4200 mile of 270th Avenue and failed to see a westbound vehicle driven by Melissa Cunningham, 43, of Greenville. A large hedge located on the corner blocked Bohr’s view. He cut the corner short, causing his 2017 Jeep Wrangler to collide with Cunningham’s 2013 Honda Pilot.
Cunningham was seen by the Spencer Ambulance for a report of minor neck pain and released. Damage estimates were $4,000 for the Bohr vehicle and $7,000 for the Cunningham vehicle. Bohr was cited for Failure to Yield Half of Roadway.
