(Black Hawk County, Iowa) – A collision Friday afternoon south of Denver, in eastern Iowa, resulted in two people being transported to a hospital in Waterloo. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 2007 Toyota Tundra pickup, driven by 45-year-old Matthew Richard Matthias, of Readlyn (IA), was stopped at a stop sign facing eastbound at Black Hawk County Road C-57 and U-S Highway 63, and a 2013 Honda CRV driven by 60-year-old Charles Farnam Stone, of Cedar Rapids, was traveling north on Highway 63 at around 2:54-p.m.

When Matthias failed to yield the right-of-way from the stop sign, his pickup was struck by the Honda, as the pickup was crossing Highway 63. Stone, and a passenger in his vehicle, 56-year-old Lily Leo Toy Stone, of Cedar Rapids, were hurt in the crash and transported to UnityPoint-Allen Hospital.

Matthias was arrested for OWI and Failure to Yield. The Patrol was assisted at the scene by the Black Hawk County Sheriff’s Department, along with Denver Fire and EMS.
