A Central Iowa man was injured Monday afternoon during a collision that involved two passenger cars and a semi, in Shelby County. The Iowa State Patrol reports the driver of a 2017 Dodge passenger car, 49-year old Bryan Law, of Des Moines, who was wearing a seat belt, was flown by LifeNet helicopter to the UNMC in Omaha, following the crash that happened at around 2:48-p.m. in a construction zone on Highway 59, just north of River Avenue, or about two-miles south of the Harlan Municipal Airport.

Law’s car, a 2011 Buick passenger car driven by 58-year old Christine Feldman, of Harlan, and a 2000 Peterbilt semi driven by 52-year old Darrel Case, of Tabor, were all stopped at the stop light in the construction zone, waiting for the light to turn green in order to proceed across the bridge.

Authorities say a 2015 Freightliner semi driven by Russwin Helsley, of Plattsmouth, NE., struck the Dodge, pushing it into other two vehicles. An investigation into the crash was ongoing as of the latest report.
