Two people were injured during a single-vehicle accident Wednesday evening, near the Cass-Montgomery County line. The Cass County Sheriff’s Office says a 2006 Ford Freestar van driven by 15-year old Peyton David Graham, of Griswold, was traveling south on Highway 71 at around 5:40-p.m., when the teen tried to turn right onto Yankton Road. The van went out of control and entered the north ditch, where it hit an embankment.

Peyton, and his passenger, 71-year old Pamela Ewing of Griswold, were transported to the Cass County Memorial Hospital by Medivac Ambulance/Griswold Rescue. Damage to the vehicle was estimated at $10,000. The Cass County Sheriff’s Office was assisted at the scene by personnel with the Grant Fire Department.
