According to dispatch reports at 4:10-a.m., a Dodge van carrying five people rolled onto its side off of 710th Street, near the “Tree in the Middle of the Road” landmark, a few miles north of Interstate 80.

Two adults and three children, ages 3, 4 & 5 were outside the van and conscious, but cold. Anita Rescue and a Cass County Sheriff’s deputy responded to the scene. One of the adults and the three children were transported to the Cass County Memorial Hospital for evaluation.

Authorities say the driver of the van was charged with Driving While Revoked, with additional charges pending. The driver’s name has not yet been released.
