At least two people were injured during a collision in a construction zone northeast of Council Bluffs on Interstate 80, Monday afternoon. According to the Iowa State Patrol, a 2002 Cadillac Escalade driven by 41-year old Carri Hillis, of Minden, and a 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser driven by 41-year old Rebecca Hewitt, of Des Moines, were traveling eastbound on I-80 in the right lane, with the PT Cruiser in front of the SUV.

Traffic was being shifted into the right lane due to road maintenance, which caused traffic to come to a stop. When Hewitt stopped her vehicle, Hillis braked but was unable to stop in-time. After her SUV rear-ended the Chrysler, the Cadillac rolled onto its side and came to rest in the ditch. The PT Cruiser came to rest in the median. The accident happened at around 4:10-p.m. near mile marker 12.

Both drivers and occupants of the vehicles were treated for their injuries.
