The Iowa State Patrol says no injuries were reported following a collision Thursday evening on Interstate 29, in Pottawattamie County. Officials said southbound traffic was being divided by temporary, reflective lane posts. A 2007 Chrysler Town and Country van, driven by 27-year old Rumana Ibrahim, of Kansas City, MO., had entered a curve at about the 47.2-mile marker, and went out of control.

The van veered into the opposite lane and collided with a 2014 Dodge Ram pickup driven by 41-year old Lawrence Currin, of Treynor, as he was also rounding the curve, traveling southbound. The pickup ran off the road and entered the northbound ditch, while the van was pushed back into the northbound lane and became disabled.

The accident happened at around 5:45-p.m.
