(Creston, Iowa) – Sheriff’s officials in Union County, today (Tuesday), said a man from Polk County was injured in a single-vehicle, rollover accident early Monday morning, north of Afton. Authorities say 26-year-old Alexander Ramos Terrazas, of Des Moines, was driving a 2017 Mack pumper truck westbound on 150th Street at around 5:40-a.m., about one-quarter of a mile east of Pheasant Avenue, when the vehicle got too close to the side of the road.

As the truck came up to the top of the hill, the passenger side tires dropped-off into the ditch, causing the truck to continue down into the ditch, where it rolled onto the passenger side, due to the steepness of the ditch. Terrazas – who was wearing a seat belt – complained of pain and possible injury.  He was transported by EMS/Medic 1, to the Greater Regional Medical Center.

The truck sustained $10,000 damage. No citations were issued.
