A Harrison County man who had just had a dialysis treatment apparently had a bad reaction, which caused him to crash Wednesday morning, in Pottawattamie County. The Iowa State Patrol says 57-year old Martin Gillespie, of Missouri Valley, was traveling north on Interstate 29 at around 11-a.m., when he lost control of his car due to medical conditions.

His 1999 Oldsmobile Cutless crossed the median and the southbound lanes of I-29 before entering a ditch and vaulting over the I-29 southbound exit ramp to I-680 eastbound. The car rolled up an embankment before stopping and rolling backward and came to rest in the south ditch at the 61.8 mile marker.

Gillespie told authorities he was feeling ill after his dialysis and had intended to pull over at Crescent, but his vision became affected. The man was transported by Crescent Rescue to Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs. His car sustained about $2,500 damage during the accident.
