The Iowa State Patrol has released the names of three of the four victims injured in an RV rollover accident Friday morning near Oxford.

According to the official crash report, the vehicle was pulling a Jeep on westbound Interstate 80 near the Black Hawk Avenue overpass when it drifted into the north ditch for unknown reasons. The driver over-corrected and hit a guardrail near the bridge, then hit another guardrail before rolling into the median.

Four occupants were taken to the University of Iowa Health Care Campus Medical Center…one requiring transport via AirCare. On Saturday, the State Patrol identified three of those injured as 71-year-old Clarence Brackens, 76-year-old Nora Brackens, and 52-year-old Peggy Hill. All three are from Summerville, South Carolina.

The fourth injured passenger was a 14-year-old whose name has not been released. Clarence Brackens was the injured passenger who required airlifting to the campus medical center. There is still no indication of who was driving the vehicle.

The accident remains under investigation.
