He then reportedly over corrected, which caused him to go into the south ditch. As he was coming out of the ditch, the vehicle reportedly rolled twice and ended up on the north side of the road, facing west.

Lopes Antonio suffered injuries deemed not life-threatening.

He was taken to Mayo Clinic Health System in Albert Lea for precautionary measures.

Speed or alcohol were reportedly not a factor in the accident.

Lopes Antonio did not have any passengers.

The Hayward Fire Department and Gold Cross ambulance assisted.
