In an update to our story posted Sunday afternoon at KJAN.com, the Iowa State Patrol says a couple from New Jersey were injured when the 1999 Harley Davidson touring bike they were riding, crashed about a mile west of the Marne exit on Interstate 80.

The cycle, driven by 37-year old Dominic R. Napoli, of Butler, New Jersey, was traveling west at around 3:30-p.m., and pulling a small trailer. When a tire on the cycle went flat, the driver lost control, causing the bike to leave the road and enter the median, where it overturned. Napoli, and his passenger, 37-year old Jennifer A. Napoli, also from Butler, NJ., suffered incapacitating injuries. Jennifer Napoli suffered from neck and back injuries, while Dominic Napoli had injuries to his head.

Both were transported to the Cass County Memorial Hospital in Atlantic. They were later transferred to Creighton University Medical Center in Omaha, with the woman taken there by LifeNet helicopter, and the man transported by Medivac Ambulance. Both are expected to recover from their injuries.

Investigators say Gardial failed to negotiate a curve while riding northbound with other motorcyclists.

One person was seriously injured during a crash Saturday afternoon, in Harrison County. The Iowa State Patrol reports 67-year old Jessie Hill, of Sioux Falls, SD, was trapped in a 1996 Dodge van and had to be extricated by mechanical means. He suffered moderate injuries and was transported by helicopter following the crash, to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. The accident happened on Interstate 29 southbound at around 3-p.m., about a mile north of the Little Sioux exit.

Authorities say Hill was a passenger in the van driven by 65-year old Jennie Brown, of Sioux Falls. The pair were traveling south at about the 96-mile marker, at the same time a 2014 Ford F-550 tow truck driven by 30-year old Jacob M. Stewart, of Sioux Falls, SD, was traveling south, en route to assist a motorist whose vehicle had broken down.

Stewart activated his truck’s emergency lights and signaled to pull in front of the broken down vehicle. When a non-contact vehicle directly behind him started to slow down, Brown slammed on the brakes in order to avoid running into the back of the non-contact vehicle. Brown’s van veered toward the inside lane and ran into the back of Stewart’s truck. Neither Brown nor Stewart were hurt in the crash.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa elected officials pride themselves on working in a politically divided government that still gets things done. But after a combative budget process, capped with several vetoes by Gov. Terry Branstad, some are questioning how well the system is working. Simply put, is Iowa politics becoming more like Washington?

Branstad has spent weeks defending his decision to veto several budget compromises negotiated by the Democratic-controlled Senate and the Republican-majority House. The governor says he’s not concerned about his relationships with lawmakers or ability to get legislation passed in the future.

Branstad says officials dealt with worse situations during the farm crisis of the 1980s. But Democratic Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal says relations between Branstad and lawmakers are near “an all-time low.”
