A western Iowa woman died during a two-vehicle crash Monday afternoon, in Carroll County. The Iowa State Patrol says 56-year old Carol Jane Roetker, of Carroll, who was wearing her seat belt, died at the scene of the head-on crash that took place just before 2-p.m., on the northwest side of Carroll.

Roetker was a passenger in a 2009 Honda Civic driven by 39-year old Debra Kay Clausen, of Carroll. The Civic was northbound on Highway 71 just south of 180th Street, when it was struck in the northbound lane by a southbound 2010 Chevy Malibu, driven by 23-year old Kera Ann Shriver, of Jefferson. Both drivers were wearing their seat belts.

Authorities say Shriver and Clausen were transported by Carroll EMS to St. Anthony’s Hospital in Carroll for treatment of undisclosed injuries.
