A southwest Iowa teen was injured Wednesday afternoon during a rollover accident in Union County. The Sheriff’s Office reports 15-year old Cole Michael Nelson, of Shannon City, was transported by ambulance to the hospital in Creston for treatment of unknown/possible injuries. The crash happened at around 3:45-p.m. Wednesday, on 205th Street.

Officials say Nelson was driving a 2004 Ford pickup westbound when he fell asleep at the wheel. After the truck crossed the center line, Nelson over-corrected, causing the vehicle to go out of control and enter the north ditch, where it rolled once and came to rest on its tires.

The pickup sustained $5,000 damage. No citations were issued.
