Authorities say a single vehicle accident in Pottawattamie County Tuesday evening on Interstate 29 took place, after a man admitted he wasn’t focused on what he was doing, and driving crazy. Sheriff Jeff Danker told The Daily Nonpareil that the unidentified driver was in a Chevy Impala traveling southbound on I-29, when he sped up next to a car, turned his dome light on and flashed a hatchet at another vehicle. The Impala driver then lost control of his vehicle and ended up getting stuck in the median. Danker told the paper the driver said someone in the other car threw trash at his car so he sped up, threw trash at them and flashed the hatchet.

The driver and a passenger told authorities they were on their way to a meth party. The driver of the Impala was transported to the Pottawattamie County Jail where a drug test was conducted. Charges are pending the results of a toxicology report.
