REPORTED
These accident reports were released this past week by law enforcement agencies:
SHERIFF
US-56 at Diamond Rd.
Attempting to pass a 2002 Ford Escape that was turning left in rainy weather, Eliseo Cisneros, 64, Sunland Park, New Mexico, clipped the car with his 2004 Chevrolet Colorado at 2:34 p.m. June 17.
Both vehicles ended up in a ditch, according to one of four accident reports released Friday by the sheriff’s department.
The Escape, owned by Nancy Gibson and driven by Katrina L. Furrer, 19, of the same rural Hillsboro address, sustained disabling damage to its left front, hood, and undercarriage and was towed. Erik F. Roistacher, 20, of Fontana, California, was a passenger.
Cisnero’s pickup remained drivable with damage to its right rear. Lucia R.D. Cisneros, 63, of the same New Mexico address was a passenger.
Deputy Clayton Philpott’s report blamed the accident on rainy weather. No tickets were listed as being issued.
US-77 south of 30th Rd.
Chelsey D. Lair, 33, rural Potwin, hit a deer at 11:16 a.m. June 20 with her 2013 Honda Odyssey, which then veered off the road to the right.
The minivan, bearing Georgia license plates, remained drivable with damage along its right side.
Passengers were listed as Forest, Nev, Ari, and Llewyn Lair, all of the same address. Their ages were redacted without required justification from the open, public record of the wreck.
190th Rd. east of Holly Rd.
Fourteen-year-old Kinsley M. Watts of rural Hillsboro drove a 1985 Chevrolet S-10 off the road to the right, through a ditch, and into a field after its engine reportedly died at 1:23 p.m. June 24.
Deputy Clayton Philpott’s report listed her as complying with terms of what he recorded as a “J09” restricted license, but such licenses are not issued to drivers younger than 16. Her license number was redacted from the open, public report of the wreck, so its restrictions could not be verified.
The pickup, owned by Richard J. Watts of the same address, remained drivable with damage to its right front and hood.
190th Rd. east of Pawnee Rd.
Allison N. Shults, 49, Marion, hit a deer at 9:22 p.m. June 24 with her 2011 Buick Encore, which remained drivable with damage to its left front and hood.

Both pickups sustained disabling damage and were towed. Hartl’s was damaged on its driver’s side and undercarriage; Lucas’, along its front half, undercarriage, windshield, and windows.
