Joy Talley suffered a head injury after the car she was driving was rear ended by a semi-truck last Thursday. That crash sent her to the hospitals in Iowa City. According to the KCRG news item she was waiting to turn left of center when the semi-truck crashed into the rear of her vehicle. It's reported the driver of the semi drove his truck into the rear of Tally's vehicle and then pushed it into the path of a pickup truck driven by Jeff Levsen of Marion; Levsen was also injured and taken to the hospital. The accident happened on U.S. Highway 151, Fairfax, Thursday, January 20, 2011, 8:00 a.m.
