Curtin then climbed onto the trunk of his vehicle as the vehicle began to float crossways in the road.  But Curtin's vehicle eventually did come to rest, still on the roadway.

Members of the Decorah Fire Department rescued Curtin from his vehicle.  He was not injured.

The Winneshiek County Ambulance Service, Winneshiek County Engineer's Office and Bill's Auto Repair and Towing assisted the fire department and sheriff's deputies.
