Rock Rapids, Iowa — A Boyden man now faces charges related to an accident in which he was injured near Doon in late July.
The accident in question allegedly happened on Sunday, July 30, 2017 in the 1 a.m. hour. The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office says an investigation determined that 22-year-old Brandon Driesen of Boyden was driving a 2000 Pontiac Bonneville eastbound on 260th Street, about five miles east of Doon, when his car entered the south ditch and became disabled after rolling.
