Accident Victim Treated and Released

 

Local police and ambulance services responded to a car accident Thursday evening at the 290th Street bridge over Sherman Creek.

Rusty Tiller, 23, of Kennebec told officers that a drunken bridge railing had appeared out of nowhere, striking his car.

EMTs at the scene assessed Tiller with two broken femurs, a punctured lung, and possible concussion.

The driver was taken to the Onawa Health and Wellness Center. After an initial examination, Tiller was released with a pamphlet on mindfulness meditation and a sample bottle of Tea Tree oil.
