An elderly man was hospitalized following a rollover accident Friday evening, about 5-miles east of Audubon. According to the Audubon County Sheriff’s Department, 86-year old Floyd Dale Ditto, of Audubon, was traveling east on 190th Street at around 4:50-p.m., when he lost control of the 2009 Chevy pickup he was driving. The vehicle left the road and rolled onto its top into a corn field on the north side of the road.

Audubon Fire and Rescue responded to the scene and extricated Ditto from the pickup. He was subsequently transported by Mercy Air Life helicopter to Mercy Hospital in Des Moines. A report on his condition is not available.

Damage to the vehicle was estimated at $27,000.
