A woman from southern Iowa was injured in a single-vehicle accident Monday afternoon, in Page County. The Iowa State Patrol reports the driver of a 2008 Ford F-350 pickup, 78-year old Dixie Fritz, of New Market, was injured when her truck left the road and hit a cable barrier. The woman, who was wearing her seat belt, was transported by Clarinda Rescue to the Clarinda Regional Hospital, following the crash.

The Patrol says after the pickup struck the first cable barrier, it bounced across the road and hit the opposite cable barrier. The pickup managed to cross over that barrier and into the south ditch, where it came to rest on the driver’s side, facing north.

The accident happened at around 3:10-p.m. on eastbound Highway 2, in Page County.
