Sheriff’s officials in Mills County say an injury accident that took place May 10th remains under investigation. Their initial report says a 1996 Nissan driven by Kevin Deitchler, of Mineola, was eastbound on Barrus Road, west of 250th Street at around 4:15-p.m., when the car slipped onto the shoulder. Deitchler tried to bring the vehicle back onto the roadway, but lost control, causing it to cross over the center line, where the vehicle collided with a westbound 2001 GMC truck, driven by Matthew Brindisi, also of Mineola.

The impact spun the truck around before it entered the north ditch, followed by the Nissan. Deitchler was flown by Life Flight to Creighton University Hospital. A report on his condition was not released.
