Pottawattamie County Chief Deputy Rob Ambrose reports a man from Cass County was injured during a motorcycle accident on Highway 92, Tuesday afternoon. 40-year old James Mueller, of Griswold, was traveling west on Highway 92 at around 3-p.m., when an eastbound car driven by 40-year old Christopher Olsen, of Atlantic, swerved to miss an animal on the road and entered the westbound lane. Mueller locked-up the brakes on his 2006 Harley Davidson, causing the cycle to slide out of control.

Mueller reportedly suffered from a shoulder, and other possible injuries during the accident, that happened about 5-miles west of Griswold near 500th Street. He was transported by ambulance to Treynor, and then by helicopter to an undisclosed hospital. A report on his condition was not available. No citations have been issued.

Fire crews from Anita and Wiota were dispatched to the scene of a semi in the median between westbound mile markers 73-and 74 off I-80, this morning. The call went out at around 7:20-a.m. Authorities said the semi was leaking a small amount of fuel from its left fuel tank, and smoke was possible coming from a part of the truck. No injuries have been reported, and additional information was not immediately available. Expect traffic to be traveling slower than normal through the area.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A driver has been given probation and suspended prison time for the crash death of another driver in Des Moines. Polk County District Court records say 35-year-old Grant Uhe was sentenced Tuesday to two years of probation and a suspended sentence of 10 years in prison. He’d pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide by reckless driving.

Police say Uhe was driving more than 75 mph (121 kph) in a 30 mph (48 kph) zone on April 19 last year before his pickup truck crashed into a car driven by 19-year-old Tyler Wilcox. Police say Wilcox died later at a hospital.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Democrat Theresa Greenfield raised more than $1.1 million from July through September in her campaign for the seat held by Republican Sen. Joni Ernst.
Greenfield, a Des Moines-area businesswoman, ended the quarter with more than $1.2 million cash on hand. The $1.1 million marks somewhat of a slowdown in fundraising pace from the first quarter, when she launched her campaign and subsequently raised more than $625,000 in less than a month, but it matches what Ernst raised during the second quarter of the year.

Greenfield’s campaign says 92% of her contributions this quarter were $100 or less, and noted she’s significantly outpacing what Ernst raised around this same time during her first run for Senate. Greenfield is one of four Democrats competing to take on Ernst, but she’s received the support of a number of national Democratic groups.

Ernst is seen as a top target for Democrats next fall, though the Republican senator enjoys a high approval rating in multiple polls.

A Creston man was arrested late Tuesday morning, for Driving While Revoked. Creston Police say 43-year old Kevin Cavin was arrested in the 200 block of N Elm, and later released from the Union County Jail on a $1,000 bond.
