A semi tractor-trailer driver from northwest Iowa was injured during an accident this (Wednesday) morning, in Monona County. The Iowa State Patrol says 48-year old Kenneth Patton, of Milford, was transported by Onawa EMS to Burgess Hospital in Onawa, after the 2019 Volvo he was driving rolled onto its right side. Officials say the rig was traveling south on I-29 at around 5:45-a.m., when for reasons unknown, it left the southbound lanes and crossed the median before entering the northbound lanes traveling south, and then rolling onto its passenger side. The semi came to rest blocking both northbound lanes.

The State Patrol was assisted at the scene by Onawa Fire And Rescue, Whiting Police, the Monona County Sheriff’s Office and Iowa DOT Motor Vehicle Enforcement Officers.
