A collision in Harrison County between a semi and two pickups resulted in two men being transported to the hospital, Friday morning. The Iowa State Patrol says a 2003 Freightliner semi driven by 59-year old Richard E. Fuhs, of Harlan, was eastbound on Highway 30 at around 7:53-a.m., when he swerved to avoid a vehicle that was slowing to make a left turn onto 280th Street.

The semi crossed the centerline of the road and collided head-on with a westbound 2012 Dodge RAM pickup driven by 26-year old Brett J. Marcum, of Logan. Another westbound pickup, driven by 36-year old Jonathan D. Moe, of Logan, was unable to stop in-time, and ran into the back of the first pickup.

The impact caused Marcum’s truck to enter the ditch on the north side of Highway 30. The second pickup then ran into the semi. Both the semi and the pickup driven by Jonathan Moe, came to rest in the westbound lanes of Highway 30.

Marcum was flown by LifeNet to the UNMC in Omaha. He was not wearing a seat belt. Fuhs – who was wearing his seat belt – was transported to the Missouri Valley Hospital by Mo. Valley EMS. The accident remains under investigation.
