NE man seriously injured in Saturday accident near Corley

News

September 6th, 2011 by Ric Hanson

Sheriff’s officials in Shelby County say a Nebraska man suffered incapacitating injuries early Saturday morning, when the pickup he was driving rolled several times into a field west of Corley. 19-year old Joshua Klassen, of Papillion, NE, was traveling north on Highway 59, when he fell asleep at the wheel of the 2000 Ford Ranger pickup he was driving at around 3-a.m.

When the pickup truck crossed the center line of the road, an oncoming semi-truck driver was forced to take to the shoulder to avoid a head-on collision. When Klassen woke up, he took evasive action, but lost control of the pickup, which skidded sideways on Highway 59 before crossing Shelby County Road F-58 and entering a ditch at the northeast corner of the intersection.

As the pickup rolled multiple times, it hit a Stop, a No Passing-, and street- signs before coming to rest on its wheels. Klassen was extricated from the vehicle by Harlan Fire and Rescue, and transported by ambulance to Myrtue Memorial Hospital, before being flown by helicopter to a hospital in Omaha. Officials say he suffered from rib, and possible internal injuries, along with lacerations to his head.

The pickup was totaled in the crash.

IOWA STATE VS. IOWA: A “SELLOUT”

Sports

September 6th, 2011 by Jim Field

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State University announced today that Saturday’s game against the University of Iowa will be a sellout.

The only remaining tickets (fewer than 200) are single tickets randomly located throughout the stadium.

“With the late surge of season tickets purchased by Cyclone fans last week and over the weekend, there are only scattered singles available for the game this weekend,” Director of Athletics Jamie Pollard said. “Our attendance should top 55,000 and I can’t imagine there will many college atmospheres rivaling what will take place in Jack Trice Stadium this weekend.”

The largest attendance for an Iowa State vs. Iowa game in Jack Trice Stadium was 54,469 in 1991. The all-time record crowd for an Iowa State home game is 56,795, which was set in 2007 against Northern Iowa.
