November 2010 Iowa State Patrol Injury Reports

It's another early morning, fall is waning and frost is giving the remaining leaves a thick coating. Yesterday as I opened the front door a deer was standing eating the flowers that need to be cleaned out from in front of the house. Winter is fast approaching. Let's review a few car-semi-tractor-trailer accidents on Iowa's interstate highways. Come back again and you may find you own. If you have any questions just drop me an email or a telephone call. Steve Lombardi 515-222-1110 or sdlombardi@aol.com. After 30 years of doing this it's hard to find a fact situation I've not seen before. Good luck with your insurance claim.
