Three people in a pickup truck were injured Tuesday afternoon, when the vehicle went out of control in Union County. The Sheriff’s Office reports a 2015 Chevy Silverado pickup driven by 25-year old Brandon Matthew Kolo, of Baxter, was traveling north on Clover Avenue at around 12:50-p.m., when the road turned to mud. When the pickup hit a large puddle, mud was splashed onto the windshield, impairing Kolo’s ability to see. The truck hit the side rail of a bridge and flipped over the side before rolling onto its top.

Kolo suffered possible/unknown injuries. His passengers, 34-year old Matthew Burgan, and 27-year old Jordan Coneel, both of Des Moines, were also injured. All three were transported by ambulance or EMS to the Greater Regional Medical Center, in Creston. All of the victims except Matthew Burgan, were wearing their seat belts. Damage to the pickup was estimated at $7,500. The vehicle was a total loss. No citations were issued.
