An out-of-control SUV struck an Iowa State Patrol vehicle Saturday afternoon in Pottawattamie County, but no injuries were reported. The Patrol says 18-year old Kelsey Martin, of Minden, was driving a 2008 Ford Explorer eastbound on Interstate 480 at around 2:30-p.m., when she tried to merge into the other lane in order to make room for a ISP cruiser parked on the shoulder of the road with its emergency lights on.

As she merged, her SUV went out of control and hit the side of the bridge at mile marker 1, before sliding into the rear passenger side of the 2013 Dodge Charger patrol vehicle. The Trooper was conducting traffic control for a previous accident, when his car was struck.
