A thin glaze of ice covered by heavy, wet snow caught some motorists off-guard this morning in western Iowa. The Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office reports one person was transported to the hospital following a rollover accident at around 7:30-a.m. on Interstate 29 northbound at the I-80 split. And, an injury accident was reported in Council Bluffs, but no further details are currently available on either accident.  Other, minor accident occurred in some area counties.

Omaha Police stopped taking property damage accident reports this morning, and were encouraging motorists to move to a safe spot off roads and exchange insurance information.
Several cars ended up in the ditch and one of the bigger accidents Monday morning was a semi that struck a median on southbound Interstate 680 to eastbound I-80. There was no word on any injuries associated with that accident.
