One person is dead after a Friday night traffic accident on Interstate 380 in Cedar Rapids.
Cedar Rapids Police say the fatal accident happened after an earlier accident on I-380 southbound near the rest stop. The second accident happened just after 6:30pm on southbound I-380 near Highway 30. The CRPD says two vehicles struck the back of a flatbed truck. The driver of one of those vehicles sustained fatal injuries.
Southbound I-380 was closed until about 11pm as crews cleaned up the scene and reconstructed the accident. Traffic was diverted to a detour using 33rd Avenue SW.
The victim’s name has not yet been released.
