(Montgomery Co.) Two people were transported to the hospital following a rollover accident in Montgomery County Sunday morning.
The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office was called to the accident one half mile north of 170th on O Avenue at 5:28 a.m. A 2003 Ford Ranger, owned by 22-year-old Nathan Fournier of Red Oak, was located down the ditch on the west side of O Avenue. Fournier was located between the roadway and the vehicle in the ditch with what are believed to be non-life threatening injuries. The driver, 22-year-old Kylie Dickinson of Griswold, was trapped in the vehicle and had to be extricated by rescue personnel. Both were taken by medical helicopter to trauma centers in Omaha.
