The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office reports two women were injured during a single-vehicle rollover accident Tuesday afternoon, about four-miles north of Walnut. Officials say a 1999 Ford Explorer driven by Elsie Anthis Deyanes Welsch was traveling north on Shelby County Road M-47 near 400th Street at around 12:38-p.m., when the vehicle slipped off the traveled portion of the road and entered the east ditch.

Welsch over-corrected, sending the vehicle back across M-47 and into the west ditch, where it rolled several times before coming to rest on its wheels.  Welsch, and her passenger, Theodora Anthis, were transported by Walnut Rescue and Medivac Ambulance to Myrtue Memorial Hospital for treatment.

Shelby and Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Deputies, Harlan Police, the Iowa State Patrol, Walnut Fire and Rescue and Elk Horn Fire, all assisted at the scene.
