(Guthrie Center, Iowa) – The teenage driver of a pickup truck escaped injury when the vehicle went out of control and rolled over last Friday, on an icy Guthrie County road. The Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office reports a 2005 Chevy Silverado pickup driven by 15-year-old Amelia Rose Eddy, of Bayard, was traveling west on Highway 141 at around 8:05-a.m., Friday, when the vehicle went out of control between Juniper and Horn Avenues.

The pickup went out of control as it crossed a bridge. It entered the north ditch before rolling over. Authorities say Eddy was wearing her shoulder and lap belt. A 100-percent ice covered bridge was deemed the reason for the accident. Two other vehicles spun out on the same bridge.

The sheriff’s department noted roads in the area were otherwise only slick in spots. The pickup sustained $5,000 damage and was declared a total loss.
