A Marion man suffered severe injuries from a rollover crash in Guthrie County over the weekend.

According to the Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office, 48-year-old Jeffery Barth was traveling northbound around the 260th block of Lost Trail at 8:50pm Saturday. Barth took a left-hand curve too fast, as he lost traction of a Polaris All-Terrain Vehicle, as it launched off of the gravel road and into the east ditch, overturned and Barth was ejected from the vehicle. Barth suffered severe internal injuries from blunt force trauma. He was taken to Guthrie County Hospital by Panora EMS.

The crash report states Barth admitted to consuming alcohol and consented to a breath test, which resulted in .055 blood alcohol concentration. He was also driving with a revoked license from a prior OWI conviction. Criminal charges are pending completion of the investigation by the Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office. Iowa State Patrol assisted at the scene. Authorities believe speeding, recklessness and alcohol were the main factors of the crash.
