(Atlantic, Iowa) – In an update to our weekend report, the Cass County Sheriff’s Office says a woman from northern Iowa was injured during a single-vehicle accident early Saturday morning, near Lyman. Authorities say first responders were called to the area of 630th (Hwy 71) and Lyman Street, south of Lyman, at around 5:27-a.m.

Lorna Blackwood, of Emmetsburg, was driving a 2002 Cadillac Escalade northbound on 630th St. and approaching Lyman Street, when the vehicle drifted onto the shoulder of the roadway.  Blackwood attempted to correct the vehicle’s course, and in doing so, over-corrected.  Her car left the road to the east and roll several times, before coming to a rest in the ditch.

Blackwood suffered what was believed to be non-life-threatening injuries, and was transported to a local area hospital by EMS.  The vehicle sustained disabling/totaling damage.
