Wreck near Storla sends two women to hospital

STORLA — A Storla-area woman and her daughter were hospitalized following a single-vehicle rollover accident that occurred around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday near the intersection of 394th Avenue and 244th Street, near the convergence of Sanborn, Davison and Aurora counties.

Sanborn County Deputy Mark Kessler said the car’s driver, Elizabeth Neal, 61, and her daughter Lora Neal, 39, both of rural Storla, were driving west on 244th Street when their 2009 Kia Rio hit a patch of washboard road, slid sideways and rolled once in the road. The car continued into the north ditch and rolled again, coming to rest on the vehicle’s passenger side.

Both women were wearing their seat belts and both received non-life-threatening injuries, but a unit from the Plankinton Fire Department had to cut the roof from the car to extricate the pair, Kessler said.

No citations were issued.

A Mitchell Ambulance crew and Deputy Dwight DeBoer of the Aurora County Sheriff’s Office also responded.
