Three Injured In Single-Vehicle Rollover Accident Near Dedham

Three people were injured early Sunday morning in a single-vehicle rollover accident near Dedham. According to the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, the accident occurred at approximately 2 a.m. on Prairie Road about two miles east of town. Authorities say 19-year-old Ryan David Wendl of Carroll was traveling northbound in a 2016 Chevrolet K2500 at a high rate of speed and lost control as he attempted to navigate a lefthand turn. The truck entered the north ditch and rolled several times, coming to rest on its driver’s side. Wendl was transported to St. Anthony Regional Hospital by private vehicle for treatment of suspected serious injuries. A passenger in the vehicle, 19-year-old Jaxson Wayne Kuhlman of Carroll, was totally ejected from the truck during the crash but sustained only suspected minor injuries. A third passenger, 26-year-old Dalton Francis Anderson of Decorah, sustained suspected minor injuries. Damage to the truck is estimated at $50,000, and Wendl was cited for failure to maintain control. Authorities note Wendl refused to provide a sample for chemical testing.
