Two passengers in an SUV were injured Sunday night, when their vehicle was rear- ended by another SUV on northbound Interstate 29 in Mills County. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 2015 Ford Explorer driven by 36-year old Russell D. Hill, of Omaha, rear-ended a 2000 Ford Explorer, driven by 43-year old Jeremy Ewoldt, of Persia. The accident happened at around 9:33-p.m. Sunday, near mile marker 42.

Following the collision, Hill’s SUV came to rest in the median, facing south. Ewoldt pulled his SUV onto the right shoulder of I-29 and stopped. Two passengers in his Explorer were transported by EMS to a local hospital. Their names were not immediately available.

The accident remains under investigation.
