Authorities say Brenda Doyon was traveling west on Highway 34 at around 6-p.m., when the collision occurred.

Doyan was transported to the Alegent Health Medical Center in Corning, for treatment of undisclosed injuries.
Two people, including a teenager from Lenox, were injured during a single-vehicle crash Saturday night on the Adams/Taylor County line.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Hallie Christofferson scored 23 points and grabbed seven boards in No. 24 Iowa State’s 53-49 win over West Virginia on Saturday. Nikki Moody and Chelsea Poppens added 10 apiece for the Cyclones, who snapped a two-game losing streak. Iowa State (14-4, 5-3 Big 12), which trailed 37-25 35 seconds into the second half, shot just 39 percent (16 of 41) from the field, but nine of those shots came from 3-point range. The Cyclones rallied to tie the game 43-all with 6:24 left to play on Christofferson’s trey.
Ayana Dunning scored West Virginia’s next six points to make it 51-49 with a little over 2 minutes remaining, but the Mountaineers (11-8, 3-5) missed their next four shots and two free throws as Iowa State pulled away. Dunning led West Virginia with 17 points, but the Mountaineers, who shot 41 percent (19 of 46) made just 5 of 10 free throws.
HONEY CREEK, Iowa (AP) – A mother and daughter escaped serious injury after their house went up in flames in Pottawattamie County.
The Council Bluffs Daily Nonpareil reports that the fire was reported early Friday morning in Honey Creek.
Pottawattamie County Sheriff Jeff Danker says the fire was initially reported as a garage fire, but the flames quickly spread to the house and a camper on the property.
The 31-year-old mother says she was watching TV when she heard a noise, looked out the window and saw flames. She and her 10-year-old daughter managed to escape, but were taken to a hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation.
The house, garage and camper were destroyed.
Council Bluffs police were called to Bucky’s Car Wash at 3501 West Broadway in Council Bluffs around 12:50pm Saturday (1/26) for a car jacking that had just occurred.
Officers learned that 34-year-old Ibraham Dirie was vacuuming out his privately owned Happy Cab Van when a man approached him and struck him in the head with his fist. After assaulting Dirie, the suspect stole the van and fled the scene. The victim was transported to Mercy Hospital with minor head injuries.
A short time later the suspect was apprehended by the Omaha Police Department and was determined to be 52-year-old Ronald Lee Vallq of Omaha. Vallq is being held in Omaha with charges pending from the Council Bluffs Police Department.
DECATUR, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska and Iowa will take over ownership of the Decatur toll bridge over the Missouri River following approval by a Nebraska commission. The Lincoln Journal Star reports that the Nebraska State Highway Commission on Friday approved the transfer. Officials have been discussing an ownership transfer agreement since the mid-1960s. The bridge carries Nebraska Highway 51 traffic east and Iowa Highway 175 west over the Missouri River. It’s situated at Decatur, Neb., about eight miles west of Onawa, Iowa. During peak summer months, about 2,000 vehicles a day use the bridge.
The Burt County Bridge Commission owns the span, but county officials have said maintenance and repairs are too costly for the county to keep it. The transfer of ownership is expected by the end of the year.
