The Cass County Sheriff’s Office says no injuries were reported following two, recent accidents. This (Monday) morning, at around 5:15-a.m., Cass County deputies responded to a report of a two-semi accident on Interstate80 westbound at the 59 mile marker. Officials say a 2016 Volvo semi driven by 46-year old James Keith Sullwold, of Waukee, was westbound on I-80 in the left lane when the front driver’s side tire blew out, causing the semi to veer into the right lane, where it hit a 1995 Kenworth, driven by 42-year old Kirika J. Robinson, of Chicago, IL. Damage from the collision amounted to $18,500.

And, at around 7:35-p.m. Sunday, Cass County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of a one-vehicle accident on Great River Road. A 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix driven by 14-year old Benard McGee, of Atlantic, was southbound on Great River road when the teen lost control going around a curve. The car entered the east ditch and came to rest on its top. McGee and a passenger left the scene of the accident prior to law enforcement arrival. Damage to the vehicle was estimated at $2,500. McGee was cited for No Valid Driver’s License and Failure to Maintain Control.
