(Atlantic, Iowa) – The Cass County Sheriff’s Office has released additional information concerning an accident that occurred north of Wiota, Sunday morning. Authorities say that at around 10:10-a.m., first responders were called to the area west of the intersection of Durango Road and Edgewood Road, on Edgewood Road, for a single vehicle rollover accident.  A 2012 Chevrolet Silverado being operated by Michael Anderson, of Cumberland, was pulling over to the side of the roadway.  When Anderson pulled over too far, the remaining shoulder of the gravel roadway gave out, causing the pickup to roll into the ditch.

Due to the steep angle of the ditch, the vehicle became stuck.  Anderson suffered back injuries and because of this, along with the vehicle being stuck in the ditch, the cab of the vehicle had to be removed for extraction.  Michael Anderson was transported via EMS for medical treatment then later flown to a secondary hospital for emergent care.  There was one passenger within the vehicle whom did not report any injuries.
