Two adults and a child from eastern Iowa were injured during a rollover accident Tuesday night in Pottawattamie County. The Iowa State Patrol reports the driver of the vehicle, 24-year old Joshua Hindman, and his passengers, 24-year old Carissa Hindman and a 7-month old male, all from Iowa City, were transported by Missouri Valley Rescue to the hospital in Missouri Valley. All three  were properly restrained in the vehicle prior to the crash.

The Patrol says the 2005 Mazda Tribute SUV the trio was in was traveling westbound on Interstate 680 at around 9:30-p.m., when a deer ran onto the road. When the driver swerved to miss the animal and over-corrected, the SUV slide sideways across the number 2 lane and hit the metal posts and cable barrier before rolling over the cable barrier and down a steep bank through a small grove of trees before coming to rest on its wheels, with the right front tire off of the rim.
