3 Hurt in Mills County Crash

By Tom Robinson Nov 26, 2022 | 4:06 PM

(Mills) Three people from Omaha, Nebraska, suffered injuries in a single-vehicle accident in Mills County.

The Iowa State Patrol says the accident happened at 4:29 a.m. on Saturday on Interstate 29 near the 32-mile marker. Authorities identified the injured as 28-year-old Iri Mendez DeGante, 23-year-old Valero DeGante Cruz, and 22-year-old Juan DeGante Cruz.

According to the report, Iri Mendez DeGante was driving a 2002 Ford SUV northbound on Interstate 29 near the 32-mile marker and fell asleep at the wheel. DeGante overcorrected, causing the SUV to roll on the traveled portion of the Interstate, slid across the median, rolled several times, and ended up on its’ top.

Silver City Rescue transported Iri Mendez DeGante, and Juan DeGante Cruz to Jennie Edmundson Hospital. LifeNet transported Valero DeGante Cruz to the Omaha Med Center.
