Iowa Personal Injury Lawyer for Clarke County, Iowa Collisions

Henry County, Iowa personal injury

This is another wrong-way crash, this one on Interstate 35 in Clarke County, Iowa. We have handled many personal injury accident cases in Clarke County, Iowa. This one has at least one fatality and an injured driver. As shown by the Iowa State Trooper’s report he believed the at-fault driver was in the 2008 Chevy Impala, Larry Wayne. According to the report, Mr. Wayne died in the accident.

Alsson Battin from Rock Island, Illinois was injured and transported to Clarke County. Odd that someone from Osceola, Iowa would not understand Iowa’s interstate highway system for onramps and offramps. But, without knowing where he got on it would be impossible to know the reasons for his confusion.

There is no explanation given for this wrong-way driving head-on fatal collision. Over the years I have come to understand there are several well-known causes of wrong-way collisions. I’ve seen them repeatedly over the years I have practiced. Causes, might include road signs that create confusion. Weather conditions can confuse the drivers. The driver’s age might be a factor. Older drivers sometimes suffer from dementia. Poor eyesight can contribute to driver-related confusion. Driver distraction with the use of a cellphone could be a factor. Inexperience with the driver could contribute. Prescription drugs can be a cause. Or, driving while under the influence of alcohol is a major cause.

Like all of these wrong-way collision cases, we draw no conclusions about who was or was not at fault, because we do not known enough about the facts to justify having an opinion.
