Man dies in one-vehicle accident
A 57-year-old Lost Springs man was the county's first vehicular accident fatality for 2006.
According to Marion County Sheriff Lee Becker, Glenn L. Heitfield Jr. was northbound on Vista Road at 8:30 a.m. Friday in a 1980 Ford pickup when his vehicle overturned one time and landed on its wheels in a ditch. Heitfield was ejected and pronounced dead at the scene.
A follow-up investigation indicated Heifield may have had health problems prior to or at the time of the crash that may have contributed to the accident.
