(Harrison County, Iowa) – Officials with the Missouri Valley Fire Department report crews were paged-out at the 3:50-a.m. Sunday, for a single vehicle rollover accident on Interstate 880 at mile-marker 4. Initial reports indicated two adults and one infant were in the vehicle. The F.D. said in a social media post, “Thankfully after we arrived on scene all parties in the vehicle were ok, even the infant.

“Preliminary reports appear as though the driver had possibly dozed off and went in to the EB right hand ditch, the driver had come to and over corrected, got back to the roadway and rolled the vehicle several times on the road through the median into the opposite direction lanes (WB) and rested on the drivers side in the passing lane.”

Officials said also, “We bring this up because there are people today that still don’t wear seat belts. It’s imperative to properly fasten yourself and children in appropriate restraints. Ejections from vehicles happen more often than they should. Seats belts save lives and we are certain they save this young family [Sunday] this morning!!

Assisting at the accident scene were deputies with the Harrison and Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Departments. Harrison County 911 assisted in coordinating communications efforts.
