A two vehicle accident Tuesday afternoon in Crawford County resulted in three people transported to the hospital. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 1996 Oldsmobile 98 Regency driven by 77-year old Garry Lee Colee, of Pocahontas, was traveling east on Highway 30 at around 12:25-p.m., when for reasons unknown the car crossed the center line of the road and collided with a westbound 2014 Chevy Silverado pickup, driven by 42-year old Jason Emil Knickman, of Dunlap.

Following the collision, the car came to rest in the south ditch, and the pickup stopped on the westbound shoulder of the road. Both drivers and a passenger in the pickup, 61-year old Dan Brasel, were transported by ambulance to the Crawford County Hospital in Denison. All three subjects were wearing their seat belts.
