January 18th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – Jonathan Holmes scored 23 points and Cam Ridley had 16 points and 11 rebounds to lead Texas to an 86-76 win over No. 8 Iowa State on Saturday, sending the Cyclones to their third consecutive loss. The Longhorns (14-4, 3-2) got their biggest win of the season with their third in the row in the Big 12.   Javan Felix scored 17 for Texas, including a big 3-pointer in the momentum-changing run in the second half.

Georges Niang scored 18 to lead Iowa State, which started the season 14-0. The Cyclones (14-3, 2-3) hadn’t lost three in a row since the 2010-2011 season and haven’t won in Austin since 2005. Melvin Ejim scored 17 for the Cyclones who went 11 of 32 on 3-pointers.

After their first losing season in 15 years last season, the Longhorns look like a team growing in confidence with Kansas State, Baylor and Kansas up next.

Winter weather brings snow, wind to Iowa

January 18th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowans are dealing with another blast of winter weather that has caused snarled traffic and threatened to dump nearly a half-foot of snow on some areas. All of Iowa is under some type of weather advisory from the National Weather Service. Most of the northwestern half is under a winter weather advisory, with much of the southwestern half is under a wind advisory, with gusts of 45 mph or higher expected until sunset.

At Iowa City, a multi-vehicle pileup blamed on bad weather shut down the eastbound lanes of Interstate 80 on Saturday morning. At least one lane had reopened by late morning. The National Weather Service says a fast-moving winter storm could dump as much as 5 inches of snow in and around the Dubuque area on Saturday.

(Update) 1 seriously injured during early morning rollover accident in Atlantic, Saturday

News

January 18th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

In an update to a story we brought you early Saturday morning, on KJAN.com and during our newscasts, one-person was seriously injured during a rollover accident near the Schildberg Quarry Recreational Area, in Atlantic. Atlantic Fire and Rescue and Medivac Ambulance crews were dispatched at around 1:13-a.m. to an area north of the bridge on Buck Creek Road, just before Glacier Road, for a passenger vehicle that had rolled over.

County County Sheriff’s Deputy Josh McLaren told KJAN News a 1993 Buick LeSabre driven by 19-year old Daniel Schmeling, of Atlantic, was traveling north on Buck Creek road and had just crossed the bridge onto the gravel, when the car went out of control and rolled near the northwest corner of the intersection with Glacier Road. One of the passengers, a 14-year old male, was partially ejected and  trapped under the vehicle. Another male passenger, age 18, suffered what are believed to have been minor injuries. Their names have not been released.

McLaren said while alcohol was NOT a factor in the crash, the accident remains under investigation.
