Marne and Atlantic Fire along with Cass EMS were responding.

A few minutes earlier, an accident was reported near the Cass-Pottawattamie County line, at Whitepole Road and 525th. Initially, there were no reported injuries, but just before 3-p.m., a woman reported she had suffered a head injury during the accident, when she was struck by a tool box.

And, at around 2:10-p.m., Cumberland-Massena Rescue was called to the scene of an accident on Highway 92, just west of the Cass-Adair County line. No injuries were reported.

Roads are reported to be very slick. Drive with caution!
