IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Some Iowa bars and other businesses are voluntarily closing their doors amid an increase in confirmed coronavirus cases. Among them was the Artifacts antiques shop in Iowa City. Owner Todd Thelen told the Gazette that the store has seen three of its mostly older customers die because of the virus. Confirmed cases in the state increased by an additional 380 on Saturday, bringing the total to 27,935.

WEST UNION, Iowa (AP) — A Des Moines woman has been arrested in a 2-year-old hit-and-run crash that killed a 14-year-old on a moped. The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports that Fayette County Sheriff Marty Fisher said 26-year-old Kelli Jo Michael, of Des Moines, was arrested Friday and charged with vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of an accident in the death of Kaiden Estling.

Two people were injured and transported to a hospital following a pursuit in northwest Iowa that ended in a crash. The accident happened at around 7:30-p.m., Friday, in Woodbury County. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 2006 Dodge Charger driven by 18-year old Elijah R. Dean, of Sioux City, was traveling north on S. Paxton in Sioux City, attempting to elude Police after a shooting incident that took place at another location.

The car ran a stop sign at the intersection with Transit Avenue, and struck a 2008 Chevy Impala driven by 36-year old Kevin D. Lawrence, of Sioux City. Following the crash, Dean, who suffered minor injuries, tried to flee on foot before being taken into custody. Kevin Lawrence suffered serious injuries in the crash.

Both were transported to Mercy One Hospital in Sioux City. Authorities say both drivers were wearing a seat belt.
