Two people from North Carolina were injured this (Saturday) afternoon, during a single-vehicle accident on Interstate 80, in Cass County (IA). The Iowa State Patrol reports a 2016 Freightliner semi driven by 33-year old Vincent MBairie, of Charlotte, NC, was traveling west on I-80 at around 1:25-p.m., when the U-S X PRESS truck went out of control as it was traveling in the right lane, about three-miles west of the Anita exit.

The semi crossed the median and eastbound lanes of traffic before entering the south ditch, where it came to rest. MBarie, and a passenger in the truck, 38-year old Danyell Williams, of Statesville, NC, were transported by Anita Fire and Rescue to the Cass County Memorial Hospital in Atlantic, where they were treated for non-life threatening injuries.
