Icy roads contributed to an injury accident Saturday morning near Minden, in Pottawattamie County. The Iowa State Patrol reports 23-year old William James Andrew Sidzyik, of Council Bluffs, was transported to Myrtue Memorial Hospital in Harlan, after he lost control and crashed the 2001 Oldsmobile Alero he was driving.

The accident happened at around 8:30-a.m., on Interstate 80 westbound, near the Minden exit. The Patrol says Sidzyik’s car went out of control on the ice covered road and entered the gore between I-80 and the westbound on-ramp from Minden. The vehicle continued over the on-ramp and struck two linear posts before coming to rest in the north ditch.

Sidzyik, who had been wearing his seat belt, complained of pain and was transported by private vehicle to the hospital, where he was located by the State Patrol during the accident investigation.
