A collision in northeastern Carroll County, Friday afternoon, resulted in the death of one person and injuries to two others. The Iowa State Patrol says the crash happened at the intersection of 130th Street and Robin Avenue, between Lidderdale and Lanesboro, at around 12:50-p.m.

Authorities say a 1997 Chevy pickup driven by 20-year old Jacob Allen Hubbs, of Jefferson, was traveling north on Robin Avenue, and failed to stop at the stop sign with 130th Street. The pickup hit a 2007 Toyota Corolla, driven by 76-year old Kenneth Lee Johnston, of Lanesboro.

Afterward, the pickup came to rest in the middle of the intersection, and the car entered the north ditch. Hubbs, and his passenger, 43-year old Brian Glenn Hubbs, of Carroll, were transported by Carroll County EMS to St. Anthony Hospital in Carroll. Johnston died at the scene.

The accident remains under investigation.
