An estimated $8,000 in damage occurred as a result of a traffic accident last week near Audubon. At approximately 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 9, the Audubon County Sheriff’s Office was called to an accident on 200th Street about three miles east of Audubon. Initial reports indicate 54-year-old Darvin Joseph Wittrock, of Audubon, was eastbound on 200th in a 2001 Chevrolet Blazer, and 17-year-old Aaron Robert Gust, of Audubon, was driving westbound in a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado. The two vehicles sideswiped each other as they crested a hill. Wittrock’s vehicle came to a rest in the eastbound lane, and Gust’s truck ended up in the south ditch. Neither driver reported any injuries during the incident. Each vehicle sustained an estimated $4,000 in damages.
