A collision between a car and an SUV Saturday, in northeast Iowa’s Delaware County, has claimed the life of a teenage driver, and resulted in injuries to a woman and a child. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 2011 Ford Focus driven by 16-year old Mackenzie McArthur, of Asbury, was traveling south on 300th Avenue at around 10:25-a.m., when the vehicle crossed the center line of the road, and struck a northbound 2006 Pontiac Torrent head-on.

The driver of the SUV, 31-year old Kendra Klein, of Dyersville, and her one-year old daughter Willow, were injured in the crash. Both were transported by ambulance to Finley Hospital, in Dubuque. McArthur died from her injuries at the scene. All parties in the crash were wearing their seat belts.

The accident remains under investigation.
