Sheriff’s officials in Union County say a man from Lorimor suffered serious/incapacitating injuries and was flown by Life Flight helicopter to Mercy Hospital in Des Moines, following a rollover accident early Saturday morning. 48-year old David Patrick Love, of Lorimor, was traveling east on Rea Road a little after midnight, Saturday. As he came to the intersection and curve with Strawberry Lane, he failed to negotiate the curve, causing the 2011 Dodge Caravan he was driving to cross the center triangle ditch.

The van then ramped over Strawberry Lane and entered the east ditch before impacting the ditch and rolling onto the drivers side. Love, who was not wearing a seat belt, was partially ejected from the vehicle through the windshield, and had to be extricated by mechanical means. Damage from the crash amounted to $9,000.
