One person was seriously injured during a collision between a pickup and car Tuesday afternoon, in Union County. The Sheriff’s Office reports a non-contact pickup truck pulling a stock trailer, was westbound on 240th Avenue, and a 2014 Chevy Cruz was eastbound. Due to the gravel dust kicked-up from the non-contact pickup and trailer, visibility was reduced, causing a 2014 Dodge RAM pickup traveling westbound and the car, to collide head-on. The accident happened at around 12:03-p.m.. The driver of the car, 50-year old Brandon Scott Munyon, of Kellerton, was seriously injured and flown by Air Ambulance to Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines. The driver of the pickup, 50-year old Daniel James Ide, of Afton, complained of pain and possible injury, but did not seek immediate medical attention.

The vehicles sustained a combined $20,000 damage, and were considered a total loss. No citations were issued.
