Accident, grass fire

A one-vehicle accident occurred on Tuesday afternoon shortly before 1 p.m. at the 137-mile marker on Highway 20. The driver lost control of the vehicle and entered the ditch. “The vehicle entered the ditch and the hot exhaust on the bottom side of the vehicle started the grass on fire,” said Capt. Brandon Hayes. The fire department extinguished the grass fire. The vehicle was scorched but according to Hayes did not start on fire. The Iowa State Patrol, Hamilton County Sheriffs Office and Webster City Fire Department responded.
