The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office reports a woman and her two children escaped injury following a rollover accident Friday afternoon, southeast of Stanton. Official say 28-year old Erin Nicole Johnson, of Villisca, was turning north onto Q Avenue from 250th Street at around 4:15-p.m. Friday, when she lost sight of the road due to dust created by another vehicle.

When the  2012 Dodge Durango she was driving got too close to the shoulder, the loose gravel pulled the SUV into the east ditch, causing it to roll over onto its top. Johnson refused treatment for herself and the children, but the trio were later transported to the Clarinda Regional Hospital to be checked out. The Durango, registered to 31-year old Lane Richard Johnson, of  Villisca, was a total loss.
