One person was injured during a collision this (Tuesday) morning, in Adair County. The Iowa State Patrol says 54-year old Marilyn Harden, of Casey, was transported to the Adair County Memorial Hospital in Greenfield by Adair Rescue following the crash at around 6:20-a.m. on Interstate 80 just east of Casey.
Officials say Harden and 41-year old Michael Reha, of Adair, were traveling east on I-80 in the right lane, when for reasons unknown, Reha’s 2006 Chevy pickup rear-ended Harden’s 2012 Ford Escape. Harden told authorities she was driving 45-to 50-miles per hour prior to the crash.
The collision forced her SUV into the median, while Reha’s pickup came to rest on the right shoulder of the eastbound lanes. The ISP was assisted at the scene by deputies with the Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office.
