A central Iowa man and a teenager were injured when the tow truck they were in toppled over early Tuesday on Interstate 80, two-miles west of Stuart. The Iowa State Patrol says 40-year old Anthony Ray Stuhldryer, of Perry, was driving a 1989 International tow truck eastbound on I-80 in heavy rain and strong winds at around 1:30-a.m., when a gust of wind caused the truck to enter the median and roll over.

The truck — registered to Jason’s Towing, LLC in Perry —  came to rest on its top in the median. Stuhldryer and his passenger, 15-year old Austin Stuhldryer, were transported by Stuart Rescue to Mercy Hospital in Des Moines.
