A woman from DeWitt, in eastern Iowa, was injured during a two-vehicle accident Sunday afternoon on Interstate 80, here in Cass County. According to the Iowa State Patrol, 20-year old Melanie Burke was transported by Medivac Ambulance to the Cass County Memorial Hospital in Atlantic for treatment of minor injuries. Officials say Burke, who was wearing her seat belt,  was a passenger in a 2006 Chevy Impala driven by 56-year old Robert Hinner, of Merrill, WI.

The Impala, and a 2006 Chevy Malibu driven by 20-year old Breea Cook, of Davenport, were both traveling east on I-80 near the 59-mile marker at around 12:33-p.m., when Cook hit the brakes to avoid a non-contact vehicle. When Hinner wasn’t able to slow down in-time, his Impala rear-ended the Malibu. Both drivers pulled their vehicles over to the inside shoulder of the eastbound lanes of travel. Atlantic Fire and Rescue assisted the State Patrol and Medivac at the scene.
