The driver of a car that went out of control and rolled over in Mills County, Wednesday afternoon, was injured but refused transport to the hospital. The Iowa State Patrol reports 33-year old Jurkug Deng, of Omaha, was traveling north on Interstate 29 at around 4:37-p.m., when his 2005 Mazda went from the right to the left lane, in order to get around another vehicle.

The Mazda went out of control, left the road to the right and rolled into the east ditch before coming to rest on its top. Deng, who was wearing a seat belt, told authorities he had earlier changed a flat tire and was using the small spare to drive on, when the accident occurred.

He was treated at the scene for minor injuries.
