(Atlantic, Iowa) – The Cass County Sheriff’s Office has issued an update on a rollover accident that we previously reported on with limited information. Authorities say that at around 3:10-p.m. Wednesday (January 18th, 2023), deputies and area first responders were called to the intersection of Highland Road and Indian Creek Street, for a single vehicle rollover accident.  Upon investigation it was found that a 2018 GMC Yukon, being operated by Madison Darnell, of Hancock, was traveling East on Highland Road.  Darnell lost control of the vehicle due to slick roadway conditions, and the vehicle entered the south ditch, tipping to it’s side.

The vehicle had five occupants who were all transported via EMS for medical evaluation.  At the time of the accident and during subsequent investigation, it was reported that all injuries were considered to be minor and non-life threatening.  The vehicle sustained significant, totaling damage.
