A Dunkerton woman is recuperating from injuries she sustained in a traffic accident Tuesday afternoon.

It happened just before 3:30pm on East Dunkerton Road, near the intersection with North Elk Run Road, near Dunkerton. A car driven by 58 year old Amanda Shares, went onto the shoulder; as she maneuvered the vehicle back onto the road, it crossed the center line, spun around, and the rear of the car collided with the front of an oncoming semi, driven by 36 year old Dominic Bure of Waldorf, Minnesota.

Shares was taken by ambulance to Allen Hospital, with non-life threatening injuries. Bure was not hurt.

Shares is being charged with failure to maintain control. The accident was investigated by the Black Hawk County Sheriff's office.
