One person is dead, another was injured during a head-on collision in a No Passing zone early this (Thursday) morning, in northwest Iowa. The Iowa State Patrol says the crash happened at around 4:20-a.m. on Highway 71 in Buena Vista County, when a 2000 Buick Lesabre passed a commercial vehicle on a hill crest that was marked as No Passing in both directions.

The driver of the northbound Buick and 55-year old David Munoz, of Storm Lake, who was traveling south in a 2002 Chevy Trailblazer, both swerved to the west and collided head-on. The car became engulfed in flames immediately after the collision.

Munoz, who was wearing his seat belt, was transported by ambulance to the Buena Vista Medical Center. The unidentified driver of the car died at the scene.
