(In an update to our earlier post) A man from Atlantic was injured during a single-vehicle accident this (Saturday) morning, northeast of Atlantic. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 1993 Chevy Silverado pickup driven by 66-year old Charles Sievers, of Atlantic, was traveling east on Casey Road at around 9:40-a.m., when Sievers reached down to pick up his cell phone. In the process, his pickup left the road and entered the south ditch, where it hit an embankment and came to rest upright. The accident happened not far from the intersection with Highway 71.

Sievers, who was not wearing a seat belt, was trapped in the pickup and reported suffered from a broken leg. He was transported to the Cass County Memorial Hospital in Medivac Ambulance.
