Two truck drivers from California were injured during a crash early this (Sunday) morning on Interstate 80 in Pottawattamie County. The Iowa State Patrol reports the 2002 Kenworth driven by 62-year old Jesus B. Garcia, of Oxnard, CA, was traveling eastbound on I-80 about a mile west of the Neola Exit, when he lost control of the rig at around 1-a.m.

The semi rolled onto its side and blocked both lanes of travel. Garcia suffered minor injuries. His passenger, 55-year old Rufino V. Murillo, of Carpinteria, CA, was seriously hurt, but listed in stable condition. Both men were transported to Mercy Hospital, in Council Bluffs.
