The Iowa State Patrol reports two people from Essex were injured during a crash this (Wednesday) morning, in Page County. The drivers of both vehicles, 37-year old Stacy Graham and 65-year old Claude Harris, were flown by helicopter to Creighton Hospital in Omaha following the crash at around 9:20-a.m. on Highway 48.

The Patrol says a 2010 Ford Fusion driven by Graham was northbound on Highway 48, when for reasons unknown it crossed the centerline of the road and collided with Harris’ 1998 Ford F-150 pickup. Both drivers were trapped in their vehicles and had to be extricated by mechanical means.

The accident remains under investigation.
