A man from Nebraska was injured during a rollover accident this (Wednesday) afternoon, north of Atlantic. The Iowa State Patrol reports 54-year old Greg A. Zurek, of Omaha, was transported by Medivac Ambulance to CCMH following the crash that happened at around 12-p.m. on Highway 71, south of Interstate 80.

The Patrol says Zurek, who was wearing his seat belt, was traveling south on Highway 71 in a 1996 Dodge Ram Wagon B3500, when he apparently fell asleep at the wheel. When the truck went off onto the right shoulder, Zurek overcorrected, causing the vehicle to overturn into the median before rolling again and landing on its wheels.

After being transported to CCMH, Zurek was transferred by ambulance to Bergan Mercy Hospital in Omaha, for treatment of his injuries.
