Two teens were injured Saturday afternoon during a crash off Interstate 80 in Pottawattamie County. The Iowa State Patrol says a 2005 Chevy Malibu entered the median off of I-80 westbound at the Neola exit at around 1:10-p.m.  The vehicle slid across the westbound lanes, entered a ditch and struck a tree. The names of the 16-year old driver and a 15-year old passenger in the car, were not released. The teens were transported by Neola Rescue to Mercy Hospital. The Patrol says the passenger was wearing their seat belt, but the driver was not.
