An Atlantic man was injured during a single-vehicle rollover accident, Monday at around 4-p.m. The crash happened off Highland Road, north of the Atlantic Municipal Airport. Authorities said the westbound pickup went out of control and came to rest on its top in the north ditch, near a field entrance. The man – whose name was not officially released – was transported by Medivac Ambulance to the Cass County Memorial Hospital, and later to the University of Nebraska Medical Center, in Omaha. His wife said in a social media post, that it appears the man suffered from a broken vertebrae in his neck, chest injuries and a head injury. He was said to be alert Monday evening, but in a lot of pain.

We’ll release the crash victims’ name when it becomes officially available. The Cass County Sheriff’s Office, Atlantic Police and Atlantic Fire and Rescue assisted at the scene.
