A woman from Carroll County was injured when her van left the road and struck a culvert this (Friday) afternoon, in Audubon County. The Iowa State Patrol says 72-year old Ruth Ohde, of Manning, was transported to Myrtue Memorial Hospital in Harlan by Elk Horn Rescue, following the crash, which happened at around 2:15-p.m. The woman was wearing her seat belt.

Officials say Ohde was driving a 2012 Chrysler Town and County van north on Highway 173, about 1.5-miles south of Kimballton, when the van entered the east ditch before hitting a culvert and coming to rest facing north, against the culvert.
