An accident Thursday morning northeast of Villisca in Montgomery County, resulted in minor injuries. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office reports a 2004 Chevy Silverado pickup driven by  42-year-old Nichole King, of Villisca, was traveling west on 210th Street at around 10-a.m.,when a smaller, eastbound gold-colored Chevrolet crossed the center line of the road about one-quarter of a mile east of Vine Avenue.

The other drivers’ actions caused King to swerve to the right and onto the shoulder in order to avoid an accident. Officials say the snow and icy conditions caused the truck to slide up the ditch embankment and roll, coming to rest on the passenger’s side. Authorities say the other vehicle continued eastbound. It’s driver may not have been aware of the accident.

Villisca Fire and Rescue responded to the scene, but King refused treatment. The damage to her vehicle was estimated at $8,000.
