Rolfe Men Survive Rural Collision Near Rolfe
Two Rolfe men escaped serious injury after a Tuesday afternoon crash two miles north of Rolfe. A 1970 Chevrolet driven by 78 year old Ben Lehnus left the road, struck a ditch and fence, then entered the Virgil Shelgren grove. Lehnus, hospitalized in fair condition with a broken collar bone and nose, was ejected from the car as both drivers failed to see an approaching Rolfe School bus. Shelgren was uninjured.
