DYERSVILLE, Iowa (AP) ā€” An eastern Iowa man has died in a crash on U.S. Highway 20. The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports that 60-year-old Russell Faust was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash just west of Dyersville on Tuesday evening. The Iowa State Patrol says Faust was driving eastbound when a semi driven by 54-year-old Davis Steger, of Colesburg, turned onto the highway from a county road. Authorities say Faust’s van struck the semi and caught fire, trapping Faust inside. The crash happened around 6:50 p.m. Authorities are still investigating.
