I wanna hear why some idiot fled. They re directed traffic into Ankeny, traffic was worse than normal. Gotta be careful on the highway, my wife drives to Ames everyday and I ***** to her to be careful, you never know.

ankeny is a nightmare to drive through.

Sounds like an unusual way to get a traffic death (consecutive rear end collisions)

also, this part made me laugh

Shortly after the first collision, a second crash happened on the northbound side of I-35 near Exit 92 around 7:30 a.m.. Kroska said the driver rear-ended a vehicle after being distracted by the accident on the other side of the highway. No injuries were reported.

damn rubberneckers

Driver who fled was drunk, was barred from driving, and from Boone. He is being charged with his 3rd OWI. He rear ended the car where the fatality (to the passenger) occurred.

An earlier report suggested a driver was trying to record the scene on his phone.

Ugh, I hate people like that. Seriously, why would anyone want to live in Boone?

No he doesn't. He needs to die off.

I admittedly have a hard time having much sympathy when his drunk, irresponsible *** was able to sprint away, but someone else wasn't so lucky because of him.
