Two people were injured during a head-on crash Tuesday afternoon, in Shelby County. The Iowa State Patrol reports 39-year old Amy Malloy, of Walnut, who was not wearing a seat belt, suffered severe injuries and was flown by LifeNet helicopter to the UNMC in Omaha, while the driver of the other vehicle, 31-year old Jason Leinen, of Adel, who was wearing his seat belt, suffered non-life threatening injuries, was transported to Myrtue Medical Center in Harlan by Elk Horn Rescue.

The accident happened at around 12:50-p.m. on 400th Street, about one-quarter of a mile east of Umbrella Road, in Shelby County. Officials say a 2006 Toyota Camry driven by Malloy, was traveling west on the wrong side of 400th Street, at the same time a 2014 Chevy Silverado pickup driven by Leinen, was traveling east.

The vehicles collided at the crest of a hill, causing major damage to both vehicles.
