Busses Struggle on thawed Iowa Roads Near Pella
Buses near Pella faced tough travel this week due to thawed roads. A west bound bus broke a spindle east of Pella Monday night, and a eastbound bus ditched near the Marion Mahaska county line at 10 15 am Tuesday requiring a lighter to continue toward Oskaloosa. Lighter cars also faced rut filled highways with frequent back ups when two vehicles meet. No serious injuries reported though several vehicles suffered damage. Road crews cleared and improved conditions with scrapers, and warmer weather is expected to smooth remaining rough sections.
