A woman from Missouri was injured during a collision Wednesday afternoon, in Fremont County. According to the Iowa State Patrol, 61-year old Barbara Simmons, of Fairfax, MO.,  was injured when her 2014 Chevy Cruze struck the rear of a 2008 Ford Expedition. The accident happened at around 4:30-p.m. at the intersection of Highway 2 and 195th Street, near Sidney. Simmons – who was not wearing a seat belt – was transported by Sidney Rescue to CHI Hospital, in Nebraska City.

The Patrol says the Expedition, driven by 61-year old Tad Nenneman, of Sidney, was stopped behind a vehicle on eastbound Highway 2 at 195th Street, and waiting to turn left onto 195th, when the eastbound Chevy failed to stop for reasons unknown, and struck the SUV from behind.

Following the collision, the Chevy spun off the road and just into the eastbound ditch before coming to rest. The SUV came to rest on the traveled portion of the road.  The accident remains under investigation. The Patrol was assisted at the scene by Sidney Fire and Rescue.
