Sheriff’s officials in Montgomery County say no injuries were reported following a rollover accident late Friday morning, about 5-miles northeast of Red Oak. Authorities say 57-year old Douglas Mark Jones, of Red Oak, was driving a 2007 Chevy crew cab pickup eastbound on 160th Street, about one-half mile east of L Avenue, when a deer ran onto the road.

When Jones swerved to miss the animal, the pickup went out of control and entered the south ditch before rolling onto the driver’s side. The accident happened at around 11:30-a.m. The pickup, registered to Clyde and Naomi Jones, of Red Oak, sustained $15,000 damage. There were no citations issued.
