The Iowa State Patrol reports a 2008 Chevy Tahoe driven by 36-year-old Corey Tangman, of Manly (IA), was traveling south on Balsam Avenue (west of Fertile, IA) at around 8:37-p.m., and approaching the stop sign with Highway 9, when Tangman failed to obey the stop sign. His SUV struck a 2017 Chevy Malibu on the passenger side, as the car – driven by 22-year-old Sierra Selvidge, of Lake Mills, was traveling west on Highway 9.

Following the collision, the SUV continued traveling east on Highway 9.
