Two adults and a child from eastern Iowa were injured during a rollover accident Tuesday night in Pottawattamie County. The Iowa State Patrol reports the driver of the vehicle, 24-year old Joshua Hindman, and his passengers, 24-year old Carissa Hindman and a 7-month old male, all from Iowa City, were transported by Missouri Valley Rescue to the hospital in Missouri Valley. All three were properly restrained in the vehicle prior to the crash.
The Patrol says the 2005 Mazda Tribute SUV the trio was in was traveling westbound on Interstate 680 at around 9:30-p.m., when a deer ran onto the road. When the driver swerved to miss the animal and over-corrected, the SUV slide sideways across the number 2 lane and hit the metal posts and cable barrier before rolling over the cable barrier and down a steep bank through a small grove of trees before coming to rest on its wheels, with the right front tire off of the rim.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — It’s been 30 years since a fiery plane crash killed much of Iowa State’s women’s cross country team, just hours after a surprising second place finish at a championship meet.
On Wednesday, surviving runners will join with running enthusiasts and others at the site where the twin-engine plane went down in a quiet Des Moines neighborhood. The crash that icy evening of Nov. 25, 1985, killed three runners, two coaches, an athletic trainer and the pilot.
Jill Slettedahl-Winter, of Danville, Kentucky, was an 18-year-old freshman that day. She recalls how one of the best days of her life suddenly became the worst.
Residents plan to establish a permanent memorial near the crash site.
