Woman injured in Highway 5 rollover crash Monday morning
DES MOINES, Iowa — All lanes of traffic are open again after emergency crews responded to the scene of a crash on Highway 5 east of Fleur Drive Monday morning. The crash happened in the westbound lanes of Highway 5. Sgt. Paul Parizek, spokesperson of the Des Moines Police Department, said it was a single-vehicle rollover crash. An adult woman was injured in the crash but her injuries don't appear to be life-threatening. Traffic was reduced to one lane at times due to the crash, causing traffic delays. Just before 7:00 a.m., all lanes of traffic were re-opened.

Street Collective offers advice on prepping your bike for spring
DES MOINES, Iowa — A sure sign of spring is more bicycles out on the roads. But if your bike has been in storage it may take a little bit of work to get it up to speed. Bobby Kennedy, Director of Bike Shop Operations for Des Moines' Street Collective, said checking over your bike following winter is a good idea. 'We have very cold winters. We have a lot of humidity in the air. And so those two things, coupled with a couple of months of not being used, can be really hard on a bike,' said Kennedy. Fans react to Drake Bulldogs March Madness placement Along with tires being underinflated from the cold, Kennedy says, 'We also see a lot of chain issues, shifting issues where folks leave their bikes and then rust developed inside the shifter or the chain and that just ceases to move.' He walked Crane Artist Loft residents through how to repair some of the most common issues impacting their bikes during a community presentation last week. While not every issue requires a bike shop, Kennedy says it's always a good idea to have a tune-up at least once a year. The Street Collective is currently hosting bench time to help customers make repairs during regular business hours. You can find out more at the Street Collective's website.
