(Red Oak, Iowa) – The driver of a semi tractor-trailer was injured Wednesday, east of Elliott, when the semi, which was pulling a 2012 Wilson grain trailer (owned by Ronald Devries, of Red Oak), crashed into a ditch and rolled over. According to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, the accident happened a little before Noon, Wednesday, near 110th Street and N Avenue.

Authorities say a 2003 Peterbilt semi owned by  David DeVries, of Red Oak, and driven by 45-year-old Joshua A. Weston, of Red Oak, was traveling west on 110th Street, when – according to Weston – the right front side tire went off the pavement, resulting in the semi being pulled into the ditch. It was noted the roadway has a narrow shoulder. Dispatch reports said the semi rolled onto its top.

Weston was transported by Griswold Rescue from the scene to the Montgomery County Memorial Hospital, where he was treated for serious, but non-life threatening injuries.

Elliott Fire & Rescue, Red Oak Fire & Rescue, Montgomery County Roads Department and Montgomery County EMA assisted the Sheriff’s Office at the scene.
