Two people were injured during a single-vehicle accident Thursday morning, south of Kimballton. The Iowa State Patrol reports 53-year old Terry Martin, of Earling, and 81-year old Darrell Leib, of Kimballton, neither of whom were wearing seat belts, suffered serious injuries and were transported by LifeNet helicopter to the UNMC in Omaha.

The accident happened at around 10-a.m. on Bluebird Avenue, when a 2013 Chevy Impala driven by Terry Martin drifted off the east side of the road as it was traveling northbound. The car entered a ditch and vaulted over a field drive before landing on its top.

The State Patrol was assisted at the scene by the Audubon and Shelby County Sheriff’s Department.
