Authorities say Trevor Dean Bennett, of Davenport, was traveling east in a 2015 Ford Fusion.  A semi-tractor trailer braked ahead of the car, causing the vehicle to strike the rear of the semi-trailer.  The semi-truck continued on, and did not stop.  Bennett suffered minor injuries, and was transported to Cass County Memorial Hospital by Cass County EMS.

And, on September 17th, Cass County Deputies responded to an accident at Highway 71 and I-80.  Officials say Changaze Khan, of Stockton, California, was driving at 2017 Freightliner Semi and leaving the I-80 west bound exit ramp, when he failed to yield, striking another semi that was traveling southbound on Highway 71.  A 2009 semi-truck driven by Richard Allan Hansen of Audubon, was struck in the rear driver’s side of the trailer.  Khan was treated at the scene for minor injuries.
