An accident Friday afternoon on Interstate 29 in Pottawattamie County resulted in a northeast Iowa man being sent to a hospital in Council Bluffs. The Iowa State Patrol says 21 year old Justin M. Ridder, of Aplington, was transported by Glenwood Rescue to Jenny Edmundson Hospital following the crash on I-29 northbound at the 45-mile marker.

Officials say Ridder was traveling in the right lane when he attempted to change lanes after seeing broken down motorists on the right shoulder. He was unable to do so however, because of a vehicle approaching fast in the left lane.

Ridder tried to return to the right lane but lost control of his vehicle. The 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer crossed the lane lane and hit a bridge guard rail. The accident happened at around 2:45-pm.

A boat has been deployed in a northeast Iowa lake to help an FBI dive team prepare for a sonar search for two missing cousins.

Black Hawk County Chief Deputy Sheriff Rick Abben (A’-behn) said Friday the three people in the boat are checking the Meyers Lake in Evansdale before the dive team enters the water and begins using its specialized equipment.

The team’s searching for 10-year-old Lyric Cook-Morrissey and 8-year-old Elizabeth Collins. They’ve been missing since they went for a bike ride on July 13. Their bikes were found near the lake.

Agents in FBI shirts spent several minutes hooking up equipment before the boat pushed off into the lake.

Abben says the dive team has arrived in the area and is planning the logistics of their dive.
