The Iowa State Patrol reports three people were injured during a collision Tuesday afternoon in Shelby County. Authorities say a 2016 Chevy driven by 21-year old Raechel Spangler, of Eagle Grove, was eastbound on County Road F-58 at around 12:52-p.m., when a 1998 Lincoln traveling north on Maple Road, and driven by 24-year old Matthew Strong, of Harlan, failed yield at the stop sign.

His vehicle struck the Chevy on the driver’s side. Both vehicles came to rest in the ditch on the northeast side of the intersection. Both drivers and a passenger in the Lincoln, 22-year old Rose Strong, of Harlan, were injured. Matthew and Rose Strong were transported by Avoca Rescue and Medivac to the UNMC in Omaha. Raechel Spangler was transported to Myrtue Hospital in Harlan by Walnut Rescue.

An Iowa DOT Motor Vehicle Enforcement officer and Shelby County Sheriff’s Deputies assisted the Patrol at the accident scene.
