(Tingley, Iowa) – Authorities in Ringgold County report a minor driver rolled the pickup truck he was driving Thursday evening, around Tingley, causing injuries to the driver and one of two passengers. The Sheriff’s Office said Saturday (Today), the young person was driving a 2003 Ford F-150 at around 7:42-p.m. in a reckless manner,  and without adult supervision. The pickup went out of control while the driver allegedly tried to “drift” a corner, on 240th Avenue (a gravel road), leaving Tingley.

The pickup ran off the road to the west in an uncontrolled skid before coming into contact with the ditch and flipped the vehicle onto its roof, and coming to rest on the edge of a cornfield. The vehicle was rolled over onto the driver’s side by the time law enforcement and EMS arrived. The unidentified driver and a passenger were rushed to the Ringgold County Hospital for treatment of their injuries. The driver faces charges that include Reckless Driving and Violation of an Instruction Permit.

The pickup was later rolled over and towed from the scene.
