A man from Shelby County was injured during a single-vehicle rollover accident Friday evening, northwest of Atlantic. Cass County Sheriff’s Deputy Bill Ayers told KJAN News that 43-year old Robert Dambra, of Harlan was driving a 2008 GMC pickup westbound on Highway 83 at around 6:21-p.m when he drove off the right side of the road onto the shoulder and went down an embankment before rolling at least twice and coming to rest facing northeast near a field.

Dambra, who was wearing a seat belt, was injured but the injuries according to Ayers did not appear to be too serious. He was transported to the Cass County Memorial Hospital by Medivac Ambulance for evaluation and treatment, as necessary. Ayers said Dambra told medics he had a “sneezing fit” and became distracted, causing him to drive off the road.
