A deadly crash in Pottawattamie County late Wednesday morning resulted in Interstate 80 blocked for several hours, and caused traffic to rerouted. According to the Iowa State Patrol, 35-year old Callie Rose Lisa Derfinlinger, of Johnston, died from her injuries after being transported by Avoca Rescue to Myrtue Memorial Hospital, in Harlan. Authorities say she was wearing her seat belt.

The accident happened at around 11:08-a.m. on I-80 westbound, near Shelby. The Patrol says a 2013 Ford F-150 driven by Derfinlinger, and a 2020 Peterbilt semi driven by 56-year-old Stanley Dean Rottinghaus, of Waterloo, were traveling westbound, and had just entered a 55-mph construction zone, when for reasons unknown, the pickup rear-ended the semi.

The accident remains under investigation.
