The Iowa State Patrol said today (Monday), a Wisconsin man was injured during a collision Friday night on Interstate 80, in Adair County. 77-year old Erwin Schuyler, of Neillsville, WI, who was wearing his seat belt, was transported by Stuart Rescue to Mercy Hospital in Des Moines.

Officials say 53-year old Steven Oshinsky, of Boca Raton, FL, was traveling west on I-80 near the 87.5-mile marker, when his 2008 GMC van came upon a 1985 Dodge van, driven by Schuyler. The GMC struck the Dodge in the rear, causing it to go out of control.

Schuyler’s van entered the median and rolled over, crossed both eastbound lanes of traffic and came to rest upright in the south ditch. Oshinsky’s van came to rest on the north shoulder of I-80.
