The State Patrol say a 2015 Chevrolet driven by 40-year-old Jonathan Slover, of Burlington, and a 2008 Chevy driven by 27-year-old Alli Souhrada, of Allison, were both northbound on the highway.

When Slover stopped and waited to turn west into a driveway, Souhrada failed to see he had slowed down, and struck Slover’s car in the rear. The motorcycle, occupied by 74-year-old Lloyd Hedrick and 60-year-old Lisa L. Wilmes, both of Indianola, was traveling southbound on the highway. Hedrick rapidly slowed down, but was unable to avoid hitting the car driven by Souhrada. They died from their injuries at the Knoxville Hospital.
