A semi tractor-trailer driver from California was injured during a rollover accident that blocked both lanes of I-80 in  Adair County, Friday night. According to the Iowa State Patrol, a 2018 semi driven by 27-year-old Yevegeniya Oleinkov, of Citrus Grove, CA, was traveling westbound on I-80 at around 11:45-p.m., when for reasons unknown, the vehicle left the road at mile marker 90 and went out of control on the shoulder.

The semi entered the ditch and flipped onto its side. Oleinkov, who was not wearing a seat belt, was transported by Stuart Rescue to Mercy West Hospital, in Des Moines. Traffic was rerouted while the Interstate was blocked for about three-hours.
