(Guthrie Co) A Nebraska man died in a single-vehicle accident in Guthrie County this (Monday) morning.
The Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office says at approximately 2:50 a.m. Dispatch received a 911 call advising a vehicle was located in a field near Frontier Road, just north of White Pole Road. The caller advised that the airbags were deployed, but he could not find anyone around the vehicle.
Adair Fire and Rescue was dispatched to the scene.
A Deputy arrived on scene at around 3:21 a.m. and was advised that the occupant of the vehicle had been located and was deceased.
According to the report, it appears that 41-year-old Ross Ingalise, of Omaha, driving a 2004 Kia Optima, was traveling northbound on White Pole Road when the vehicle left the roadway. The roadway began to curve to the east, but the Kia continued straight, entering a ditch and continuing north through the ditch until it struck an embankment along the side of Frontier Road, causing the Kia to go airborne. The Kia continued through the air for several yards when it struck the top half of a telephone pole, causing the pole to snap in two. The Kia continued through the air after striking the pole for several more yards until it landed in a fence row of pasture. Ingalise was ejected from the vehicle.
