News · March 26, 2015


The city awoke to freezing rain Monday, though it caused few problems before melting.


West Branch Fire Chief Kevin Stoolman said an SUV overturned about 8 a.m. on Herbert Hoover Highway on a curve near Lower West Branch Road.

Stoolman said that when emergency responders found the SUV in the south ditch, the driver was uninjured and the ambulance was called off before arrival.

Despite the temporarily slick conditions, the start of school was not delayed.
