Pregnant Woman Taken to Hospital After Cedar Rapids Crash
Posted on Aug 04, 2011
On Wednesday morning, July 13, 2011, a single-vehicle accident in Cedar Rapids took place on a quiet residential street in the 2000 block of E Avenue NE.
Cedar Rapids police indicated that 20-year-old Jessica Mullen, of Cedar Rapids, was driving her minivan around 7 a.m. when the crash occurred. Her boyfriend, 25-year-old Brian Howell, advised police that she was taking him to work and had just left their home moments earlier.
It appears that Jessica looked down for a moment, whereupon she struck a wooden pole. Because she was 13 weeks pregnant, an ambulance transported her to St. Luke's Hospital out of precaution. There is no word about her medical condition or the baby's medical condition at this time.
The pole she crashed into was an Alliant Energy utility pole. The crash splintered the bottom of the pole and knocked down a street lamp. Crews at Alliant Energy are inspecting the pole to see if it needs to be replaced.
The Law Offices of Brady & O'Shea would like to extend our best wishes to Jessica Mullen and her unborn child.

FAQs
Car, Truck & Motorcycle Accidents
- I heard there is a new cell phone law in Iowa for drivers. Is this true?
- Should truck drivers stay off the roads in winter or drive differently to minimize truck accidents?
- I rear-ended another car because the vehicle's brake lights and taillights were out. I also suffered injuries and want to pursue a claim, but am I liable since I hit him?
