Even when the roads are dry, the Ames and Nevada exits off of I-35 can be a dangerous spot for drivers. Twenty-three-year old Jessi Sprague learned that first-hand last Friday when a semi truck sideswiped her car, then drove off.

"There's cars getting on, there's cars getting off so everyone is speeding up and slowing down on that clover leaf going in each direction," says Butch Hansen, owner of Butch's Automotive. He has towed his share of wrecked vehicles from that very spot. The most recent was Sprague's Ford Focus.

Her car was totaled on her drive home to Ames last week. It happened when a semi truck moved over to make room for merging traffic, not realizing she was already in the left lane. "I'm just seeing like the whole side of the guy's truck- just coming towards my car. I'm just like 'Oh my Gosh', I couldn't do anything about it," says Sprague.

The force of the semi hitting the passenger side of her car caused the airbag to deploy. With all the flying car parts, Sprague can't believe the other driver didn't see, hear or feel anything. "The fact that he just drove off, that I think that got me more than the actual accident itself," she says. Sprague filed a police report, but without the truck's license plate authorities don't have much to go on.
