One person was injured in a three-vehicle wreck south of Winfield Monday morning. According to the Henry County Sheriff’s Office, at 7:25 a.m. a head on collision happened in the 2200 grid of Highway 78. A pickup truck driven by 35-year-old Jaime Nino of Winfield was eastbound when he lost control on the icy road and crossed the centerline into the path of an oncoming car. That car was driven by 56-year-old Asher Smale of Winfield. The Nino vehicle went into the ditch.
Smale swerved into the westbound lanes to avoid the Nino vehicle, but then struck an eastbound truck driven by 21-year-old Neil Davis of Winfield. Smale was transported by Henry County Health Center ambulance to the University of Iowa hospital for treatment of injuries.
The Smale vehicle is a total loss and damage is estimated at $10,000 to the Davis vehicle. No damage was reported on the Nino vehicle. Nino was cited for failure to maintain control.
