A single-vehicle accident in Madison County, Monday afternoon, resulted in injuries to four teenagers. The Iowa State Patrol reports the teens, two 14-year old females and two 16-year old males, were in a 2003 Chevy pickup truck driven by 16-year old James Brooks, of Winterset, when  the accident happened at around 1:35-p.m. in the area of 225th Street and Pammel Park Road, southwest of Winterset.

The Patrol says the pickup was westbound on 225th Street when it ran the stop sign at Pammel Park Road. The vehicle entered the south ditch of 225th Street. As it exited the ditch, the pickup rolled on the road and flipped, ejecting two of its passengers. The Madison County Sheriff’s Office reports three of the injured: 14-year old Tatum Scheuraman, 14-year old Destiny Cunningham, and 16-year old Joe Campbell, all of Winterset, were transported to hospitals in Des Moines. One of the 14-year olds (it’s not clear which) and Campbell were flown by LifeNet and Mercy One helicopters to the Methodist and Mercy Hospitals. Brooks was treated at the scene and released.

The accident remains under investigation. The Patrol was assisted at the scene by the Madison County Sheriff’s Department, Winterset Police, Winterset Fire Department and the Madison County Ambulance.
