Three people from Harlan were injured in a three vehicle, chain-reaction collision just before 10-a.m. Tuesday, in Pottawattamie County. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 2012 Chevy Cruze driven by 20-year old Jessica Throlson, of Harlan, was westbound on Interstate 80 near mile marker 19.

Due to an earlier crash near the 18 mile marker, traffic was merging to the right lane. 72-year old Marilyn Rosman and 61-year old Sharon Davidson, both of Harlan, were traveling in a 2019 Toyota Avalon in the right lane, when Throlson rear-ended the Toyota.

The collision cause the Toyota to collide with a 2018 Jeep Wrangler driven by 21-year old Taylor Axelson, of Loveland, CO. The Chevy and the Toyota came to rest in the right lane, while the Jeep came to rest in the median.

Throlson, Rosmann and Davidson were all transported to Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs, by rescue crews from Neola and Underwood.
