(KNZA)--An elderly Holton man escaped serious injury after his vehicle landed in a creek following a single-vehicle wreck late Friday morning.
Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse said the sheriff's office received a report of an accident involving an occupied vehicle in a creek near 238th and T Roads shortly after 11:30.
Morse said a Dodge Ram pickup truck had been eastbound on 238th Road where it appeared to have lost control and slid off the roadway and down into a creek.
Members of the Holton Fire Department, Jackson County Sheriff's Office and nearby residents helped to rescue the driver, identified as 85-year-old Delmer Klahr.
Klahr was evaluated by Jackson County EMS, but refused further treatment and transport.
