The Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office reports a young adult from Panora was injured during a rollover accident late Monday morning. Authorities say 18-year-old Paul Richard Hansen was driving a 2001 Buick Century Custom west on 120th Street – a gravel road – at around 11:30-a.m., when the car went out of control. The vehicle entered the eastbound ditch before it entered the westbound ditch and struck a large rock.

The car rolled over and came to rest in a cornfield. Hansen was wearing a seat belt. He complained of pain and possible injury before being transported by his parents. No citations were issued. The vehicle sustained $1,500 damage and was declared a total loss.
