Authorities in Union County say a medical condition likely contributed to a single-vehicle accident Monday morning off Highway 34. 75-year old Ronald Wheeler, of Murray, was traveling west on Highway 34 at around 9:50-a.m., when he apparently suffered a seizure while on the way to Omaha. The 2014 Dodge Avenger he was driving left the road to the right and went into a ditch. The car sustained $10,000 damage.  Wheeler was transported by ambulance to the hospital in Creston.

He told deputies he had suffered a seizure about 10-years ago, as well, and suspects that’s what happened Monday morning, because he doesn’t remember the accident.
