A head-on crash between two SUV’s Friday evening in Madison County, resulted in two women being sent to hospitals in Des Moines. The Iowa State Patrol reports 62-year old Lynnette Kay Anderson was transported from the scene by Mercy One helicopter to Mercy Hospital, where she was listed in critical condition at last report. 79-year old Marlene Kay Saxton was transported by ambulance to Methodist Hospital, where she was being treated for serious injuries. Both women are from Winterset.

The Patrol say Anderson was driving a 2016 Jeep Compass northbound on Highway 169 at around 6:15-p.m., when for reasons unknown, her vehicle crossed the center line and struck a 2006 Subaru Legacy driven by Saxton.

It’s not clear if wet road conditions played a role in the crash, which remains under investigation.
