Guest guest Posted January 28, 2001 Report Share Posted January 28, 2001 Iowa State Patrol Trooper Jeff Benson was seriously injured in a multi-vehicle accident today on Interstate 80 in eastern Iowa. Snow, sleet and freezing rain had turned the roads to a slippery mess at the time of the accident. Trooper Benson was directing traffic at another accident when a semi tractor trailer combo lost control and struck him. The truck then hit a woman and an 8 year old girl. They died at the scene. The trooper was pulled under neath the semi and trapped for nearly an hour. As of 1913 CST he is in University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics with massive multiple injuries including a fractured neck. Prognosis is not good at this time. More when it becomes available.
