It wasn’t the weather, but a car accident that closed Highway 22 between Lone Tree and Nichols for several hours Thursday afternoon.
According to the Muscatine County Sheriff’s Office, the highway was closed between Bancroft Avenue and 180th Street just after 12:30pm. KCJJ has learned the accident involved a van colliding with a semi. One driver received minor injuries.
A photo of the accident scene sent to KCJJ shows a white van that appears to be totaled and lying in a ditch.
A post on Facebook notes Highway 22 was reopened to normal traffic just before 6pm.
The cause of the accident remains under investigation.
