A woman from Lewis suffered possible, unknown injuries during an accident Wednesday morning on Highway 6, in Cass County. The Iowa State Patrol, Friday, said 67-year old Linda Lou South, of Lewis, was traveling north on Highway 6 at around 8:45-a.m., when she saw a Cass County gravel truck slowing ahead of her due to engine trouble. She stopped behind the truck and turned on her flashers to warn traffic behind her.
A 2006 Pontiac Grand Am driven by 37-year old Craig Lantz, of Atlantic, was also traveling north. He saw the stalled dump truck and South’s vehicle with its flashers on, but was unable to stop before hitting the rear of South’s car.
Lantz was cited for Failure to Maintain Control and for Violation of Financial Liability – accident related. Damage from the crash amounted to $13,000.
