The Iowa State Patrol responded on Monday to a multi-vehicle pileup on Interstate-80 near mile marker 24. Four vehicles were eastbound on I-80 around 2:01 p.m. when traffic was slowed due to a lane closure. A 2020 Freightliner Cascadia driven by Gagandeep Singh Dhaliwal of Brampton, Ontario was traveling in the right lane approaching the other vehicles when it failed to slow for traffic. The Freightliner veered to the left and collided with the rear driver side portion of another 2020 Freightliner driven by Vitaliy Isoita of Sedalia, Missouri and then side swiped a 2015 Chevy Equinox driven by Rhiannon Kelley of Council Bluffs. Another unidentified vehicle was rear-ended by the second Freightliner due to the initial impact.

The Equinox went into the median and the Freightliner that initiated the accident stopped on the center-line and blocked both lanes of traffic. No injuries were reported during the crash and no further details were known at this time.

(Radio Iowa) The state has had a program to help low-income Iowans pay their heating bills for 40 years and is now adding one to help with water bills. Christine Taylor oversees both programs — and says they’ve received 10 million dollars in federal funds for the water side.

Taylor says they can also help those behind on the water bills catch up.

She says you can sign up for the Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program at your area community action agency.

Taylor says thousands of Iowans could be impacted.

Taylor says the water bill issues are not new for many.

She says the program will pay the water companies and they do not send the money directly to the users.

After completing repairs and flushing, Xenia sent water samples for laboratory testing to determine if bacteria had entered the water system.
