An accident late this (Thursday) morning in Mills County resulted in two people being injured. The Iowa State Patrol says a 2017 Ford pickup driven by 62-year old Allan J. Garrow, of Broughton, IL., was eastbound on Highway 34 at around 11:10-a.m., just east of 330th Street, when for reasons unknown, the vehicle crossed the centerline and struck a 2006 Freightliner semi driven by 29-year old Michael William Stamp, of Neola.

After the impact, the pickup continued into the south ditch, while the semi rolled onto its side and blocked the road. Garrow, who was not wearing a seat belt, was flown from the scene by LifeNet helicopter to the UNMC in Omaha. Stamp, who was wearing a seat belt, was transported by private vehicle to Mercy Hospital.

The accident remains under investigation. The Iowa State Patrol was assisted at the scene by Malvern Rescue and LifeNet.
