Man hurt in accident listed as stable

The Iowa State Patrol has identified the man hurt in an accident Tuesday evening when his vehicle hit a utility pole along North 32d Street.

Marvin Leffingwell, 55, of Fort Dodge, was thrown from the pickup truck he was driving, according to an ISP accident report.

Leffingwell, who was not wearing a seatbelt, according to the report, was taken to Trinity Regional Medical Center with head injuries.

He was listed in stable condition Wednesday.

Leffingwell was headed north at a high rate of speed on North 32nd Street near Diversified Storage when he apparently lost control of his 1999 Ford pickup shortly before 8 p.m., the ISP reported. The pickup went into the west ditch and sheared off a high voltage utility pole before rolling and coming to rest on its passenger side.

The accident remains under investigation.
