Two adults and a child died in a crash early Saturday morning, in Polk County. The Iowa State Patrol reports the crash happened at around 12:50-a.m. on Interstate 80 eastbound, near mile marker 141, near Adventureland. Officials say a 2002 VW Golf driven by 28-year old Gustabo Salcedo, of Des Moines, entered I-80 from the 142 interchange going westbound, in the eastbound lanes.

The car struck a 2021 Freightliner semi tractor head-on. Salcedo, and his passengers, 24-year old Diana Sanchez-Tello, and a one-year old child, both from West Des Moines, died at the scene. The woman and child were not wearing seat belts. The driver of the semi was not injured.

The crash remains under investigation.
