News

September 28th, 2021 by admin

The Iowa State Patrol responded on Monday to a multi-vehicle pileup on Interstate-80 near mile marker 24. Four vehicles were eastbound on I-80 around 2:01 p.m. when traffic was slowed due to a lane closure. A 2020 Freightliner Cascadia driven by Gagandeep Singh Dhaliwal of Brampton, Ontario was traveling in the right lane approaching the other vehicles when it failed to slow for traffic. The Freightliner veered to the left and collided with the rear driver side portion of another 2020 Freightliner driven by Vitaliy Isoita of Sedalia, Missouri and then side swiped a 2015 Chevy Equinox driven by Rhiannon Kelley of Council Bluffs. Another unidentified vehicle was rear-ended by the second Freightliner due to the initial impact.

The Equinox went into the median and the Freightliner that initiated the accident stopped on the center-line and blocked both lanes of traffic. No injuries were reported during the crash and no further details were known at this time.
