(Glenwood, Iowa) – Four people, two adults and two children from Nebraska, were injured during a single-vehicle crash on Interstate 29 two-miles north of Highway 34 in Mills County, late Saturday morning. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 2009 Honda passenger car was traveling south on I-29 near mile marker 37 at around 10:50-a.m. The driver attempted to merge from the left lane to  the right. The driver noticed a semi already in the right lane and over-corrected to the left, causing the vehicle to leave the road and enter the median, where it rolled over and came to rest on its top on the northbound side of a cable barrier.

The driver, 20-year-old Gabrielle Wells and a passenger, 20-year-old Robert Baca, both of Omaha, were injured, along with the two children, a seven-year-old and a 10-year-old, whose names were not released. Wells and the 10-year-old were transported to the UNMC in Omaha by Glenwood Rescue. Baca and the seven-year-old were transported by Hamburg EMS to Jenny Edmundson Hospital, in Council Bluffs.

The Patrol said all of the crash victims were wearing their seat belts.
