McLaren says the accident happened at 730th and Quincy Road, when a car failed to stop as it was traveling eastbound on Quincy Road. The vehicle collided with a pickup truck that was headed south on 730th.

All three were transported to the Cass County Memorial Hospital, with the driver of the car later flown by LifeNet Helicopter to Creighton University Medical Center in Omaha. That individual reportedly suffered from a broken leg, head and shoulder lacerations. Injuries to the other individuals were not believed to be life threatening.

The accident was under investigation by the Iowa State Patrol, with more information, including the names, expected to be released later.
