Officials say 75-year old Larry Leo Kruse, of Harlan, was turning south onto 7th Street from Victoria Avenue, when he made the turn too wide and over-corrected to the left, just missing a tree. Kruse then turned sharply to the right, causing the vehicle to flip upside down.

Kruse was assisted from the vehicle by Medivac and the Harlan Fire Department personnel.  Although he initially said he wasn’t injured,  Kruse was transported to Myrtue Medical Center by Medivac Ambulance, as a precaution and to be checked out.
