An accident in Harrison County Sunday night resulted in one person being sent to the hospital. The Iowa State Patrol reports 53-year old Marilee Louise Collier, of Missouri Valley, was transported by LifeNet helicopter to Creighton Hospital in Omaha, after the 1998 Ford Taurus she was driving crossed the center-line of Highway 30 and hit the driver’s side of a semi before continuing and striking the dual wheels of the semi’s trailer. Collier was ejected from her car and came to rest on the south shoulder, while her car came to rest in the south ditch.

The semi, a 2009 Freightliner, stopped on the south shoulder of the road. The driver of the rig, 57-year old Merlin Jay Howley, of Sioux City, was not hurt.

The accident happened at around 10:20-p.m., as the car was traveling westbound on Highway 30, and the semi was traveling eastbound, at about the one mile-marker. The crash remains under investigation.
