No injuries were reported after a pickup struck an Iowa DOT snowplow early this (Sunday) morning on Interstate 29 in Council Bluffs. According to Bluffs Police, the accident happened at around 2:40-a.m. on I-29 southbound near mile-marker 53.

Their investigation determined the snow plow driver had pulled to the right side shoulder and off the road before exiting the truck to remove debris from the roadway. As the driver was removing the debris he was forced to run out of the way of a silver 2011 Dodge Ram truck driven by 24 year old Steven Clark of Belton, MO.

Clark drove into the rear end of the parked snow plow which still had its flashing yellow hazard lights on. Clark was arrested for Driving While Revoked and Resisting Arrest. Alcohol is believed to be a factor in the crash and additional charges are pending.

The Council Bluffs Police Department would like to remind drivers to slow down and give road crews plenty of room to work.
