The Iowa State Patrol, Friday afternoon, released the names of a person who died and another who was injured, during a multi-vehicle collision on a 100% ice and snow covered I-80 westbound Thursday afternoon, near Coralville. 72-year old William W. Hicks, of Coralville, died at the scene. 36-year old Reggie R. Gist, of Cedar Rapids, was injured and transported to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, in Iowa City. Both men were wearing their seat belts.

Authorities say the collision involved seven passenger vehicles and four semi tractor-trailers. Diminished or reduced visibility was also a factor in the crash. The accident, which happened at around 3:30-p.m. near the 242.5-mile marker, remains under investigation.
