The Iowa State Patrol is requesting the public’s help in connection with a fatal Tama County crash. Authorities say the collision happened at around 10:30-p.m. Friday on Highway 30 at Railroad Avenue, just north of Chelsea. The collision occurred between a black Ford F150 pickup driven by 38-year old Tamie Ann Cockrell, of Van Horne, and a FedEx Semi with dual trailers, driven by 34-year old Adam Russell Nurre, of Dyersville. Cockrell died at the scene.

Officials say the semi was westbound on Highway 30, when for reasons unknown, it crossed the doube-yellow line and struck the eastbound pickup.  The Iowa State Patrol requests that anyone who may have been a witness to the collision or had gone through that area of Highway 30 during the time it took officers to respond to the scene, to come forward with any pertinent information.

Please call the District 11 State Patrol office in Cedar Rapids at 319-396-1944 or Public Information Officer, Sgt. Nathan Ludwig at 515-745-2863.
