A rural Pottawattamie County man was injured in a single-vehicle accident near Underwood on Wednesday. Sheriff’s official told the Omaha World-Herald, Kenneth Foote was driving west on Magnolia Road near 300th Street about 9:20 a.m. when he lost control of his 2006 Chevy Silverado pickup. The truck went off the road into the south ditch, went through a fence, crossed a field and stopped at a hay bale and a tree. The wreck occurred just east of the small town of Bentley.

Rescue personnel were able to help the man, initially thought to be trapped, out of the truck through the passenger door and transported him to Jennie Edmundson Hospital for treatment of injuries not considered life-threatening. The man was said to be conscious and breathing when taken to the hospital.
