A chain-effect accident involving as many as 40 vehicles on
Interstate 35 hairbreadth Latimer killed one person, according to the Iowa
National Patrol. Another person died in Iowa County after losing
power of a van on Interstate 80 and hitting a semi head-on .
Authorities opened four crisis shelters. The American Red
Cross organized three following the crashes on Interstate 35.

30.
Poor visibility in georgic areas prompted the Black Hawk County
Secondary Roads Count on to pull its plows off the roads by 3
p.m. Monday, said Rick Buffington, contribution supervisor.
"We can't see," he said. "We've had way too many near misses for
collisions with mostly people driving around with no lights
on."

going. A bread truck collided with a county plow on Donald Drive
west of Idaho Street at 5:30 a.m. today, resulting in no serious
injuries.
