• Injured in rollover crash

The O’Brien County Sheriff’s Office reported that Sarah Austin, 63, of Paullina, was westbound on 330th Street at 9:30 p.m. on Dec. 29, when she appears to have failed to stop at the intersection with Roosevelt Avenue. Austin lost control of the 2000 Jeep Cherokee as it hit gravel, left the roadway and rolled at least 1-1/2 times before coming to rest on its top. The report indicates that 330th Street turns into a gravel road just west of the intersection.

Austin was transported by the Sanborn Ambulance to Sanford Sheldon Medical Center and was later transferred to Sanford USD Medical Center in Sioux Falls, S.D.

Damage to the vehicle was estimated at $12,000. Austin was cited for Failure to Maintain Control and Failure to Obey a Traffic Control Device.
