Two Mount Ayr Residents Injured in Rollover Accident

DAVIS CITY, IA – Two Ringgold County residents were injured when their SUV rolled over in an accident Thursday afternoon in Decatur County.

The Iowa State Patrol says 50-year old Debra Percifield and 20-year old Crystal Hughes, both of Mount Ayr, were westbound on Highway 69, west of Davis City when the SUV went off the roadway onto the shoulder. Percifield attempted to bring the vehicle back to the roadway, but she overcorrected and lost control. The vehicle slid off the roadway into the ditch before rolling over and coming to rest on the passenger side.

Percifeld was taken by LifeFlight to Methodist Hospital in Des Moines. Hughes was taken to the Decatur County Hospital.
