Cass County Emergency Management Coordinator Mike Kennon, Sunday, provided KJAN with pictures from one of the many accidents that occurred during the day Sunday, into late Sunday night. The semi in the photo’s below, was involved in an accident that happened at around 10:12-p.m. Sunday, as the winds were picking up and fresh fallen snow began to swirl, making the roads completely covered with snow, ice or slush, and very treacherous. Atlantic Fire, Marne Fire, Cass County Sheriff’s Deputies and the Iowa State Patrol responded to the scene. Earlier in the day, Sunday, a semi hit a pickup on I-80 eastbound near mile marker 64 in Cass County. At least one injury was reported. Soon thereafter, numerous accidents were reported near the Anita exit (70-mile marker), as vehicles began to slip and slide on the road.
