An accident Thursday night in Audubon County resulted in one person being transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The Sheriff’s Department reports 40-year old Bryan Kent Ingerslev, of Exira, was traveling south on Heron Place a little over two-miles south of Audubon at around 7:20-p.m.

Officials say he attempted to make the right curve but because the 2001 Ford F-150 was traveling at a higher rate of speed than conditions allowed, the truck began to slide sideways. The rear of the vehicle swung around and entered the south ditch before the truck rolled over.

Ingerslev initially refused any medical treatment, but was later transported by Audubon Rescue to the Audubon County Memorial Hospital. Damage to the pickup was estimated at $12,000. The accident remains under investigation, and charges are pending.
