Driver escapes with minor injuries in afternoon accident

A Minnesota man escaped with only what appeared to be minor injuries in a rollover accident on 71
highway about a mile north of Adrian. The accident occurred around 2 p.m. as the northbound Subaru
left the right side of the roadway and rolled at least once before coming to a rest on the right shoulder.
The driver was transported to Bates County Memorial Hospital for treatment.

Police chase ends in Bates County overnight

A driver who left the scene of an accident in Cass County led to a police chase that ended in eastern Bates County around midnight last night. The driver, name unknown, allegedly rear ended another vehicle north of Archie and sped away southbound into Bates County where the Highway Patrol pursuit was joined by Bates County sheriff's deputies.

The chase, which encountered speeds up to 80+ mph, turned onto D highway east of Passaic where it eventually ended near Z highway.

No injuries were reported- however, another vehicle that mistakenly ran over a spike strip required assistance near the Adrian overpass.
