(Grundy County, IA) – An adult and two children were injured when an SUV rolled over Sunday morning east of the Grundy Center exit from Highway 20. The Iowa State Patrol says a 2005 Ford Explorer driven by 24-year-old Dilcia F. Hernandez-Morales, of Peoria, IL., was traveling westbound on Highway 20 near mile marker 209. The vehicle left the road to the right and went out of control when the woman tried to get the SUV back into the lane. The vehicle entered the ditch and rolled over three times before coming to rest on its top, in a field. The accident happened at around 7:20-a.m., Sunday.
The Patrol says Hernandez-Morales and her passengers, ages one and seven, both from Peoria, IL., were transported by Grundy Center EMS to the Grundy County Memorial Hospital. The children were not restrained in the vehicle. Hernandez-Morales was wearing her seat belt.
