(RED OAK, Iowa) – An accident involving an aircraft in Montgomery County, Saturday afternoon, resulted in two persons suffering minor injuries. Montgomery County Emergency Management Director Brian Hamman, Sunday morning, said the aircraft made an emergency landing in a standing corn field at around 1-p.m. Saturday, near the intersection of 175th and I Avenue, in rural Red Oak. The incident remains under investigation by local and federal authorities.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa judge has refused to allowed some Des Moines area bars to reopen while their lawsuit challenging Gov. Kim Reynolds’ new round of bar closures makes its way through the courts. The Des Moines Register reports that Polk County Judge William Kelly emphasized the importance of public health Friday in his explanation of the ruling denying a temporary injunction to the bar owners in Polk and Dallas county. Attorney Billy Mallory said he will appeal the denial while continuing to prepare for trial, where he will seek a permanent injunction.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Polk County sheriff’s office released dashcam footage and other information Friday about the fatal shooting of a Wisconsin man by one of its deputies in 2018. It wasn’t immediately clear from the video released Friday if 25-year-old Isaiah Hayes was shot in the back, as his family contends. The sheriff’s office disclosed details in an online video that includes dashboard camera footage of deputies chasing the Ashland, Wisconsin, man through central Iowa. They also released previously undisclosed documents and radio communications. The sheriff’s office says Deputy Ryan Phillips saw Hayes run from a stolen car near Altoona, Iowa.

He was convicted in September 2019 in the death of his wife, 39-year-old Amy Mullis, on the couple’s farm near Earlville. Mullis has maintained his innocence. Prosecutors say Mullis was furious that his wife was having an affair and feared he’d lose their farm if she divorced him. The sentencing hearing was postponed four times because of restrictions related to the coronavirus.

2 UTV fatality accidents in Iowa Saturday morning

News

September 5th, 2020 by Ric Hanson

Two people, including a child, died in separate Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV) crashes Saturday morning, in Iowa. According to the Iowa State Patrol, an accident in Decatur County claimed of life of three-year old Wyatt Archer Moser, of Leon. The crash happened at around 8:40-a.m.

Authorities say the child was a passenger on a John Deere UTV with two other, relatives who are minors. The machine was being operated on private property. When the older driver and older passenger dismounted from the machine, the 3-year old moved into the driver’s seat and accelerated the UTV. The machine struck a parked 5th wheel trailer. The boy died from his injuries at the Decatur County Hospital.

The second UTV accident happened about an hour later, in northern Iowa’s Clayton County. The State Patrol says a 2004 Toyota Avalon driven by 23-year old Jasmyne Jones, of Cedar Rapids, and a 2016 Polaris Ranger operated by 72-year old Byron Meyer, of Postville, were northbound on Gunder Road near the intersection with 120th Street.

As the Toyota and a non-contact vehicle were over-taking the UTV, Meyer attempted to turn west onto 120th. When his UTV collided with the Toyota, Meyer – who was unrestrained in the machine – was ejected and died at the scene. His passenger, 68-year old Eileen Myer, also of Postville, was wearing a seat belt. She was transported by Postville EMS to the hospital in Decorah, for treatment of her injuries.

The accident remains under investigation.
