(Poweshiek, County, Iowa) – A crash involving three vehicles in eastern Iowa left one person dead and another injured. The Iowa State Patrol says the accident happened just before 2-p.m. at the intersection of Highways 6 and 63, east of Grinnell. The Patrol says a 2014 Buick Encore was traveling south on Highway 63 when the unidentified driver failed to stop at the intersection with Highway 6.

The car struck a trailer being pulled by a 2008 Chevy Silverado pickup that was westbound on Highway 6. An eastbound 2011 Volvo semi struck the pickup’s trailer also, when the trailer was pushed into the eastbound lanes. The semi also struck the Buick, which came to rest in the north ditch and caught fire.

The other vehicles also came to rest in the north ditch. The driver of the Buick – who was wearing a seat belt – died at the scene. Their name was withheld pending notification of family. The driver of the semi, 73-year-old Steven M. Crow, of Marengo, was injured and transported by ambulance to the hospital in Grinnell.

The crash remains under investigation.
