NARRATIVE

Unit 1 was northbound on I-29 when it ran off the road to the left and struck the guardrail prior to the bridge. Unit 1 drove up over the guardrail and skidded along the top of the metal and cement guardrail over the bridge. Unit 1 then came off of the cement guardrail and drove over the metal guardrail on the north side of the bridge. Unit 1 came to rest on it's wheels in the median inside of the guardrail area on the north side of the bridge. The driver was picked up by a family member and transported to the hospital in Winnebago. The driver was later transported to Mercy in Sioux City. Trooper Farley was notified of the accident and contacted me on my cell phone. Trooper Farley was given information that the accident had happened in the Onawa area and that the vehicle had gone thru a guardrail. I told him that I had checked on a vehicle at the 91 mile marker earlier and thought that it could be the vehicle involved. Trooper Farley gave me the name (John Kennedy) of the subject at the hospital. I responded to the 91 mile marker and found a citation from Trooper Melby at 02:19am on 1/22/11 for speeding issued to Mr. Kennedy. The vehicle was also registered to him. Trooper Farley gathered a statement from Mr. Kennedy while at the hospital and gave it to me. I could find no proof of insurance in the vehicle. I did some further checking on the insurance for the vehicle and found out that the insurance was cancelled in late December.
