Two men, one from Cass, the other from Shelby County, were injured during a collision Sunday night on Interstate 80 near Menlo, in Adair County. The Iowa State Patrol reports 28-year old Nicholas Kern, of Atlantic, and 48-year old Mark Vandenberg, of Harlan, were transported to area hospitals following the crash that happened on I-80 westbound at mile marker 89 at around 8:37-p.m.

The Patrol says Vandenberg’s 2007 Chevy Impala had previously struck the cable guard barrier in the median, and was partially blocking the left westbound lane. Kern was in the left lane driving a 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer. He wasn’t able to change lanes and hit the Impala before both vehicles were spun into the cable barriers.

Both drivers were wearing their seat belts and suffered from non-life threatening injuries. Vandenberg was transported to the Guthrie County Hospital. Kern was taken to the Adair County Memorial Hospital in Greenfield, by Menlo Rescue. The Adair County Sheriff’s Office assisted at the scene.
