A passenger in a pickup truck was injured Sunday evening, when the vehicle rolled over off of Interstate 29, in Mills County. The Iowa State Patrol says 36-year old Rebecca K. Hansen, of Logan, was transported by Glenwood Rescue to Creighton University Hospital in Omaha, following the crash that happened on northbound I-29 at around 6-p.m., Sunday. Hansen was wearing her seatbelt.

Officials say she was riding in the back seat of a 1997 Toyota SR-5 pickup that went out of control and entered the median before coming to rest on the driver’s side. A trailer being pulled by the pickup became detached during the crash and ended-up on its top.

The vehicle was driven by 17-year old Ethan E. Hansen, also of Logan, who was cited for failure to maintain control. Neither the driver nor two other passengers in the pickup were injured.
