One person was transported to the Cass County Memorial Hospital in Atlantic early this (Sunday) morning following a rollover accident a couple of miles southeast of Wiota. According to dispatch reports, a woman went to a farmhouse just south of 390th Street and Independence Road at around 3:15-a.m. and reported she was in a vehicle that had been involved in an accident.

Deputies found the car upside down and were initially unable to determine if there were any other persons in the vehicle because the top was crushed. They saw footprints leading from the car into a field.
Anita Rescue and Wiota 1st Responders were called to the scene and used a thermal imaging device to help search for other, possible victims. None were found, and after doing some checking, deputies determined the woman appeared to have been alone in the vehicle at the time of the crash.

Cass County Sheriff’s Deputy Kyle Quist told KJAN News the woman, whose identity has not yet been released, was cited for Failure to Maintain Control and Having No Proof of Insurance. An additional charge of OWI is pending the results of chemical tests given to the woman at the hospital.

Additional information is expected to be released on Monday.
