An out-of-control pickup struck a vehicle that slid into the ditch, Friday, and nearly struck two people who were out with the other vehicle. The Iowa State Patrol says the accident happened at around 12:04-p.m. on Interstate 80 westbound near mile marker 58, in Cass County.

The Patrol says a 2013 Ford Super Duty pickup driven by 24-year old Sheron A. Williams, of Suwanee, GA., was traveling in the right lane just before the accident took place. The driver of a 2019 Hino straight truck and a State Trooper were walking around the truck and checking out front end damage.

Williams was traveling too fast for the road conditions. She lost control of her pickup, which left the road and entered the north ditch before hitting the front end of the straight truck. Authorities say she narrowly missed striking the driver of the truck and the Trooper. Injured in the crash was 42-year old Skeeter S. Hutchinson, of Burlington, NJ., and 47-year old Michael E. Adger, of Omaha. Both were transported by Medivac Ambulance to the Cass County Memorial Hospital, in Atlantic.

Atlantic Fire and Rescue assisted at the scene.
