The Iowa State Patrol says a truck driver from Michigan was cited following an investigation into an accident Monday morning on Interstate 80, in Adair County. Officials say 64-year old Franklin LeRoy Voss, of Port Austin, MI., was cited for Failure to Maintain Control, after the 2009 tractor-trailer he was driving left I-80 westbound near the 88-mile marker, at around 8-a.m., Monday.
The semi, registered to Stageline Express, of Coopersville, MI, entered the median and hit a cable guardrail, which stopped the rig and became entangled beneath the tractor and trailer. Voss was not injured during the accident, but a passenger in the cab, 45-year old Gregory Lynn Harris, suffered minor injuries. He refused transportation to the hospital.
Damage from the accident amounted to $8,500.
In a follow-up to our story earlier this week, officials say a truck driver from California was cited for Failure to Maintain Control and Failure to Move over for a Patrol Car, following an investigation into Monday’s crash on Interstate 80 in Adair County, that sent a State Patrol Trooper to the hospital. In information released late Tuesday, the Patrol said 59-year old Michael Patrick O’Hara, of Hesperia, CA, was cited.
O’Hara, who was driving a 2013 Volvo semi registered to Hill Brothers Transportation, of Omaha, was traveling west in the right hand lane of I-80 area around 10:17-a.m. Monday, when he became distracted, looked up and saw traffic in front of him slowing for an earlier accident being covered by Iowa State Patrol Trooper Todd Granner. O’Hara slammed on his brakes, which caused the semi to lose control.
The rig crossed both lanes of traffic and struck the left rear corner of Granner’s 2009 Ford Crown Victoria cruiser, which was parked in the left, westbound lane of traffic with its emergency lights activated. After the cruiser was hit, the semi struck a cable guard rail and came to rest in the median. The accident happened near the 89.2-mile marker.
Trooper Granner was transported to the Cass County Memorial Hospital to be checked for injuries before being released. Damage from the crash amounted to $11,000.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State University is revising the way its crop specialists work with farmers on the best ways to plant and care for soybeans and corn. Traditionally corn specialists worked with corn growers and soybean specialists worked with soybean producers. Now, however, the university says it’s putting together a new team of integrated cropping systems specialist.
They will focus on how corn and soybean production interacts with soil, weather, cover crops, crop rotation and management practices and support farmers’ use of data-driven technologies in precision agriculture. The team is led by Sotirios Archontoulis, who joined Iowa State in 2012.
Mark Licht, extension field agronomist for central Iowa since 2011, moved to the Ames campus as part of new team.
