Multiple injuries were reported, including a Denison man, following a three-vehicle collision early this morning on Interstate 29 in Pottawattamie County. According to the Iowa State Patrol, the accident occurred near mile marker 68 at approximately 1:05 a.m. Authorities say a 2019 Dodge Charger, operated by 30-year-old Adrian Long of Denison, who is is also a state trooper, was parked on the outside shoulder of the southbound lane assisting with a previous accident when a southbound 2006 Honda Civic, driven by 29-year-old Elizabeth Braun of Omaha, Neb., lost control on the slick roadway and struck a cable barrier, blocking part of the roadway. A southbound 2020 Ford Fusion, driven by 27-year-old Cha’ron Thompson of Omaha, Neb., then collided with the rear of the Honda before hitting the Long vehicle. All three drivers and a passenger in the Thompson vehicle, 21-year-old Dallas Thompson of Omaha, Neb. were transported for treatment of injuries sustained in the crash.
