Ayers said the teen was traveling south on Highway 6 at around 7:45-a.m., when he fell asleep at the wheel of the 2006 Pontiac G6 he was driving. The car left the road on the A-T&T curve and traveled into the south ditch, where it came to rest in the tall grass.

The vehicle sustained $1,500 damage. No citations were issued. Cass County Sheriff’s Deputies were assisted at the scene by Lewis Fire and Rescue personnel, Atlantic Fire and Rescue, an Iowa Dept. of Motor Vehicle Enforcement officer, and the Cass County Emergency Management Agency.
