One person was transported to the Montgomery County Memorial Hospital and another was arrested, following a rollover accident early Sunday morning. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office reports a passenger in a 2006 Chevy Cobalt, 28-year old Kyle Wayne Pack, of Red Oak, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the vehicle, which trapped him underneath when it rolled. The driver, 37-year old David Daniel Wells, of Red Oak, who was wearing a seat belt, was not hurt. He managed to free Pack and place him back in the car before running to a nearby home to call for help.

The accident happened at around 4:50-a.m., as the car was traveling east on 210th Street, about one-half mile west of G Avenue, near Red Oak. The car went out of control and rolled into the south ditch, coming to rest upright. Pack was transported by Red Oak Rescue to the University of Nebraska Medical Center, for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.

Wells was taken into custody for Driving While Suspended, with 15 withdrawals in effect. The accident remains under investigation. Officials say the car the men were in, sustained $4,500 damage.
