Multi-vehicle crash causes delays on northbound I-35, Iowa State Patrol says

Two Warren County deputy vehicles were hit around the 52 mile marker as officers assisted with traffic control.

WARREN COUNTY, Iowa — People traveling north on Interstate 35 today may have experienced delays due to a multi-vehicle crash. 

The Iowa DOT reported Thursday morning that the road was blocked due to a crash near Exit 52, County Road G50, just 13 miles south of Cumming. Iowa DOT said the crash is no longer affecting traffic flow as of 11:30 a.m. 

Two Warren County deputy vehicles were involved in the crash, Sgt. Alex Dinkla tells Local 5. The cars were hit around the 52 mile marker as officers assisted with traffic control. No one was injured. 

Dinkla said approximately a dozen semitrucks attempted to avoid the crash by taking an alternative route over a bridge; however, that bridge is currently closed for construction. Officials are working to get the semitrucks turned around. 

Local 5 has a crew on the way to the scene. We will update this story as more information becomes available. Download the We Are Iowa app or subscribe to Local 5's "5 Things to Know" email newsletter for the latest.
