The Iowa State Patrol says a Denison couple was injured during a rollover accident Tuesday afternoon near Underwood, in Pottawattamie County. Officials say 56-year old Blanca and 54-year old Juan Pacas were traveling east during a moderate rain shower behind a semi on Interstate 80 in a 2001 Dodge Caravan, when Blanca attempted to transition from the right lane into the left, passing lane. As she did so, the driver a non-contact vehicle in the left lane honked their horn. Pacas swerved right and lost control of the van, which entered a ditch and rolled several times down a hill. The accident happened at around 1:20-p.m.

The couple were transported to Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs. Their injuries were not believed to be life threatening.
