(Mason City) An accident involving an Iowa State Trooper’s squad car shows how dangerous some snow-packed state highways were last weekend. The trooper suffered minor injuries Friday and was checked out at a local hospital. He was inside the squad car helping with the response to another traffic accident when his car was hit. State officials were advising people to avoid driving Friday evening. Those who had to go out were urged to use caution and drive at a safe speed.
