Reported Accidents in Iowa, Interstate Highways for January 7, 2011

Today I'm going to list the personal injury accidents and crashes on the Iowa interstate highway system. They come off the ISP website but you are free to contact me if you want further assistance. I can be reached by email at sdlombardi@aol.com or by phone 515-222-1110.  

From quickly scanning the summaries there are at least 48 personal injury accidents on the Iowa interstate highways in this batch of reported accidents. They include I-35, I-80, and I-29. For some reason I-380 has no pi accidents this time around.
