A 16-year old from Creston was flown by air ambulance to Methodist Hospital in Des Moines, and three others juveniles were injured, following a collision at an uncontrolled gravel road intersection, Thursday night. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 2004 Nissan Xterra (SUV) driven by a 16-year old was traveling westbound on 190th at around 8:23-p.m., at the same time a 1998 Toyota 4 Runner driven by a 17-year old, was traveling northbound on Jaguar Road.

After the 4 Runner struck the driver’s side of the Nissan, the Nissan rolled onto its passenger side and was thrown into a utility pole at the northwest corner of the intersection. When it hit the utility pole, a live power line fell onto the SUV, and the Toyota came to rest in a ditch.

No names were released because the teens are juveniles.
