At least one person suffered possible injuries during a three-vehicle accident this morning, in Atlantic. According to the Police Department, the crash occurred near the Turkey Creek Lodge on east 7th Street, at around 10:37-a.m. The accident remained under investigation late this morning, and no other details were available.

Roadways in the area at mid-day were 100-percent snow covered. The Iowa DOT reports an accident on the I-80 eastbound off ramp to U-S Highway 59 at Avoca, was closed due to an accident at that location.

A tow ban is in effect for Cass and Adair Counties until further notice. Vehicles that slide-off the road will not be removed until the weather has cleared and the ban is lifted. Cass County Sheriff Darby McLaren said there was one accident in the County as of mid-day. The Sheriff warns motorists to slow down and only travel if necessary.
