(Mills County, Iowa) – A man from Pacific Junction was injured Thursday morning in Mills County, when the vehicle he was driving collided with a semi on 202nd Street. The Mills County Sheriff’s Office reports a 2004 Ford driven by 46-year-old Corey Manley was traveling east after completing a gradual turn in the 55000 block of 202nd Street. A 2016 Freightliner semi driven by 50-year-old Arthur Sales, of Council Bluffs, was westbound, when, according to a witness, the car came around the corner “out of control.” The witness, who a was traveling westbound about a car’s length in front of the semi, said he had to pull off to the side of the road to avoid a collision. When he looked in the rear-view mirror, he just saw “A cloud of dust” after the Ford hit the semi.

Sales saw the car coming, but was unable to avoid the collision. The semi pushed into a ditch during the ensuing collision. Corey Manley was transported to Methodist Hospital by Glenwood Rescue.
