A man from South Africa was injured during an accident on Interstate 80 in Adair County, Sunday afternoon. The Iowa State Patrol reports 44-year old Friderich Tohannes Erich Goldschagg may have suffered a medical issue, that caused the 2015 Ford F-150 pickup he was driving, to veer to the right of westbound I-80 near the 89 mile marker.

The pickup entered the north ditch and struck a tree. The accident happened at around 2:10-p.m. Goldschagg – who was wearing a seat belt – was transported by Adair County Rescue to Methodist Hospital in Des Moines. The Patrol was assisted at the scene by  Adair Fire and Rescue.
