Two people died in a crash on Interstate 29 Monday afternoon, in Monona County. The Iowa State Patrol reports the accident happened on I-29 northbound, about 3.5-miles north of the Onawa exit, at around 2:05-p.m. Officials say a 2005 Ford Focus driven by 49-year old Leon Lavern Weifenbach, of Onawa, was traveling south in the left lane of travel, when for reasons unknown, the car veered left and entered the median before entering the northbound lane of travel, where it collided with a 2002 GMC Sonoma. The driver of the pickup was identified as 52-year old Joseph A. Metz, of South Sioux City, Nebraska.

After the impact, the pickup rolled over into the east ditch, where the car also came to rest. Both drivers were killed. The patrol says they were wearing their seat belts.
