A man from Nebraska was injured Wednesday afternoon during a collision on Interstate 29, in Fremont County. The Iowa State Patrol says 26-year old Wilmer Hernandez Gonzalez, of Lincoln, NE., was a passenger in a 2007 Mazda that was rear-ended on I-29 northbound near Hamburg, just before 2-p.m., Wednesday.

A pickup, driven by 80-year old Charles Cook, of Sherwood, AR, was coming up from behind the car, when Cook misjudged the speed of the Mazda. His 2011 Chevy Silverado struck the car, causing the collision. The car came to rest on the traveled portion of the road, while the pickup ended-up in the north ditch.

Hernandez-Gonzalez, who was wearing a seat belt, was transported by Hamburg Rescue to Grape Community Hospital in Hamburg, for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. No other injuries were reported.

The Iowa State Patrol was assisted at the scene by the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office, along with Hamburg Fire and Rescue.
