An Iowa man is being treated for serious injuries after falling out of the window of a moving party bus, authorities said.
Deputies responded shortly after 1 a.m. Sept. 7 to a 911 call about a person who fell out of a bus onto Highway 18 near Hull, according to a Sept. 8 news release from the Sioux County Sheriff’s Office.
According to the sheriff’s office, passengers on an “All 4 Fun” party bus alerted the driver that 21-year-old Levi Koopmans, of Ireton, “leaned against an unlatched window” and fell through.
The bus was traveling at about 50 mph at the time of the incident, authorities said.
