When a car struck a pickup truck Saturday morning in Pottawattamie County, the car veered into the median and caught fire. The Iowa State Patrol reports the car, a 2012 Chevy Sonic, was driven by 50-year old Virgil F. Crisman, of Omaha. Crisman’s car, and  a 2011 Ford F-250 pickup driven by 18-year old Michael Small, of Nicholasville, KY, were both traveling southbound on Interstate 29 at around 6:25-a.m., Saturday, when the Chevy rear-ended the pickup near mile marker 46. Crisman suffered non-life threatening injuries, and was transported by Council Bluffs Fire and Rescue to the UNMC in Omaha. The accident remains under investigation.
