(Neola) A Minnesota man suffered serious injuries in a single-vehicle crash on Interstate 80 near Neola.
Iowa State Patrol Trooper and Public Information Officer Ryan DeVault tells KSOM/KS95 News the accident happened on Monday at 7:15 a.m. on westbound Interstate 80 near the 29-mile marker. The driver, identified as 63-year-old Michael Knuutti of Ely, Minnesota, was airlifted to Bergan Mercy Hospital in Omaha for treatment of injuries.
