A pickup driver escaped injury, but had a wild ride on Thursday morning, when he lost control of his pickup truck on 58th Street (The High Road) just east of Highway 150. The truck remained on its wheels although traveling down a steep ditch. Vinton fighters and North Benton Ambulance joined law enforcement in responding to the accident, which remains under investigation.
