The Jaws of Life were needed to free two persons from a car involved in a collision at North 20th Street and Highway 18 Wednesday, Nov. 23.  Officials were called to the scene at about 12:45 p.m.

Firefighters cut away the side doors of a 2013 red Ford Escape to free two people trapped inside.  They were transported to Mercy Medical Center-North Iowa by the CLFD Ambulance with non-life threatening injuries.
