An elderly Kearney man was lucky to escape with only minor injuries after hitting an Interstate guardrail and rolling down and embankment Sunday morning in Clay County.
Troop A of the Highway PAtorl says 87-year-old Kearney resident Darrell D. Peters was driving a 2022 Chevy Trailblazer southbound on I-35 at mile-marker 19 when he approached traffic that was congested due to an unrelated stalled vehicle.
The Peters Trailblazer went off the right side of the Interstate where it struck a guardrail end and rolled down an embankment before coming to rest.
Peters was wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident and escaped with just minor injuries. He was taken by Liberty Fire to Liberty Hospital for treatment.
