(Hull, Iowa) – A collision in northwest Iowa, Wednesday morning, resulted in two deaths and one person injured. The Iowa State Patrol reports the accident happened at around 10:33-a.m., a little northwest of Hull. Authorities say a 2017 Dodge Caravan driven by 56-year-old Suzanne Barron, of Sioux City, was traveling west on 310th Street, at the same time a 2019 Freightliner truck driven by 46-year-old Jamie Hueschen, of Sioux City, was traveling southbound on U-S Highway 75. A 2009 Chevy Silverado driven by 31-year-old Ethan Kooima, of Hull, was eastbound on US Hwy 18, waiting to turn south onto Hwy 75.

When the van failed to stop at the intersection, it was struck on the passenger side by the Freightliner truck. Both vehicles exited the southwest corner of the intersection, where the van hit two stops signs and overturned, coming to rest on the driver’s side. The Silverado pickup was struck by flying vehicle debris from the initial collision.

Suzanne Barron and her passenger, Rene Ross, II, of Hull, died from their injuries. The driver of the semi was hurt and transported by Sioux Center Ambulance to the Sioux Center Hospital. All of the crash victims were wearing their seat belts.
