Cedar Rapids officials have identified the person who died Friday night in a 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 the first vehicle that hit the truck was 57-year-old Rebecca Sue Anderson of Decorah; she was driving a 2013 Buick Encore and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The second vehicle was driven by 31-year-old Jordan Holtkamp of North Liberty. He was transported to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, suffering from serious injuries.
57-year-old Carlos Javier Lopez of Brownsville Texas was driving the flatbed and was not injured.
Southbound I-380 was closed until about 11pm as crews cleaned up the scene and reconstructed the accident, which remains under investigation.
