Sac City, Iowa -- Blizzard conditions in Western Iowa this weekend left many cars in ditches and created accidents. Accidents reported in Sac County were all due to obstructed vision with the wind and snow. 20-year-old Nicholas Lopez of Nebraska was stopped on Highway 20 near 220th Street due to an unknown vehicle in the roadway when 22-year-old Alex Brian of Carroll rear ended him. Both were uninjured and no citations were handed out. At around 2:30 p.m. 31-year-old Michael Mace of South Dakota and 30-year-old Melissa Sippel of Schaller were both traveling east on Highway 20 when their vehicles collided into each other. That collision then caused the Mace vehicle to hit the back end of a semi driven by 47-year-old Shawn Eastman of Minnesota that was heading in the same direction. Sippel, Mace, and a passenger in the Mace vehicle 19-year-old Josephina Charron of Sioux City were all taken to Buena Vista Regional Medical Center with non-incapacitating injuries. A third accident was created when an unknown vehicle with a cattle trailer was parked in the middle of Highway 20 near 225th Street at around 3:00 p.m. 39-year-old Clayton Mills of Sac City was headed westbound on Highway 20 when he struck the trailer and his vehicle became disabled. That incident then created a chain reaction of other accidents as 36-year-old Scott Fairbrother of Sac City, 30-year-old Charles Glass of Sac City, and 59-year-old Bette Lohff of Lytton all were involved in collisions. Mills was the only person who received possible injuries. No citations were issued and the unknown vehicle with a cattle trailer left the scene.
