A collision Monday afternoon near Shenandoah has claimed the life of a Page County man. The Iowa State Patrol says the driver one of the vehicles, 20-year old Kassidie Runyon, of Yorktown, who was not wearing a seat belt, died at the scene. The other driver, 60-year old Cathy Lesher, of Westboro, MO., who was wearing her seat belt, was injured during the collision, and transported by Shenandoah EMS to the Shenandoah Memorial Hospital.

The crash happened at around 3:20-p.m. at the intersection of 250th Street and Highway 59. Officials say a 2003 Kia Spectra driven by Runyon, was eastbound on 250th Street and had pulled away from the stop sign at Highway 59, when his car was hit on the driver’s side by Lesher’s southbound 2006 Dodge 1500 pickup.

Both vehicles came to rest in the east ditch off Highway 59, south of 250th Street.
