HORNICK, Iowa (AP) – Authorities say the wife of a 73-year-old man fatally injured in a Woodbury County collision also has died. Iowa State Patrol Lt. Jay Smith says 70-year-old Kay Crowl died Thursday at Mercy Medical Center-Sioux City. The Sioux City Journal reports that she and her husband, Mark Crowl, were driving east near Hornick around 8:15 p.m. Sunday when their vehicle collided with a westbound vehicle driven by 17-year-old Shayna Schelm.

The patrol says Mark Crowl was pronounced dead soon after reaching the hospital. Schelm was treated there for minor injuries. Schelm lives in Hornick, as did the Crowls.
