A Griswold teen escaped serious injury during an accident late Wednesday afternoon, north of Red Oak. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Dept. says 17-year old Lane Dorscher was traveling south on Highway 48 at around 4:50-p.m., when he fell asleep at the wheel of a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee he was driving.
Dorscher awoke and over-corrected, causing the SUV to slide out of control backwards onto a bridge over the Nishnabotna River. The vehicle made contact with the east side bridge guard rail before coming to rest. Damage to the Jeep, registered to Deana Dorscher, of Griswold, was estimated at $1,500. No citations were issued.
The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Dept. was assisted at the scene by Red Oak Police, Red Oak Fire and Rescue, and the Montgomery County Emergency Management Agency.
