SABULA, Iowa – Iowa DNR Conservation Officers responded to a boat crash on the Mississippi River on Sunday morning that left two people with serious injuries.
The crash happened around 10:30am, north of Sabula near river mile marker 542, when one vessel failed to maintain proper following distance, hitting and ramping the vessel in front. The crash caused serious injuries to an occupant and an operator of one of the vessels. One adult male was taken to MercyOne Clinton Medical Center and one adult female was airlifted to OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center in Rockford, IL.
All safety equipment was properly in place on both vessels and passengers required to wear personal flotation devices were wearing them at the time the crash occurred. Alcohol and drugs were not a factor in the crash.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources assisted the Iowa DNR with the investigation.

(Radio Iowa) – The latest tally shows the State of Iowa collected 10-point-six BILLION dollars in taxes and fees during the fiscal year that ended June 30th. That’s 619-million dollars ABOVE the estimate officials made in March. One reason the CURRENT surplus is so much higher than predicted is because officials had expected the state would pay out considerably more in tax refunds, but Jeff Robinson of the Legislative Services Agency warns the state is still due to send some local option sales tax money to local school districts and other calculations are still being made. “While Fiscal Year 2021 ended June 30 and refunds processed and charged to ’21 ended August 31, some transactions related to Fiscal Year 2021 will continue to be processed into the second half of September,” Robinson says.
In July and August — the first two months of the current state fiscal year — net tax revenue fell more than 11 percent compared to the same two months last year. “The decrease was concentrated in individual and corporate income tax deposits,” he says. “This situation was expected and is not a cause for concern as July and August corporate and individual income tax receipts last year were unusually high due to tax due dates that were delayed in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.”
State officials moved the traditional April 30th deadline for filing Iowa income taxes to July 31st last year.
(Radio Iowa) – Northern Iowa scored first and kept things close against heavily favored Iowa State throughout the game Saturday –but couldn’t pull it out on the final drive and fell 16-10 in Jack Trice Stadium. Cyclone coach Matt Campbell. “Hard fought win for us, I am really proud of our kids, I certainly give a lot of credit to U-N-I and their kids,” he says. Campbell says he saw some improvement in his team, and also some areas they still need work on. “Little things, like the touchdown, comes on third down, we’ve got them wrapped up for a sack. The slant, got ’em tackled and the guy makes a great play. A couple of offensive possessions you’re talking just a couple areas where you are off on a couple of little things. All things to be really honest with you I think you expect in a first game. Again, that’s a team that really believes and they are not ever going to beat themselves,” Campbell says.
Cyclone running back Breece Hall was held to 69 yards rushing in the game, but did score a touchdown. “Hats off to U-N-I, their defense played a really good game, especially since they just played three or four months ago and they still had that togetherness,” Hall says. Hall says the Cyclones could have played better in the season opener. “I feel like we were happy that we won the game — but we all knew that we could have done a little bit better…we didn’t play perfect today, we didn’t play Iowa State football,” Hall says.
It was the first time since in two years fans were allowed back into the stadium and it was a sell-out crowd. Hall was happy about that. “It was good, for me, I haven’t had that feeling since my freshman year, just getting back into that atmosphere, just getting in front of the fans, getting the student section riled up and everything,” Hall says. Campbell felt the same way. “It was great to be able to have that energy in the stadium. I just think for everybody involved to have some sense of normalcy, was really special,” Campbell says.
U-N-I goes on the road to face Sacramento State Saturday. Iowa State will host Iowa in Ames for the first time in two years as the game in Iowa City last year was canceled by the pandemic.
