A collision Wednesday afternoon in Greene County between a cargo van and a semi, left the driver of the van dead. The Iowa State Patrol reports the semi, driven by 21-year old Arthur Vanderwaal, of Hull, was turning southbound onto Highway 4 from 290th Street, when a northbound 2017 Chevy Express van driven by 71-year old Wesley H. Bunnell, of Glidden, began to drift left into the southbound lane.

Vanderwaal saw the approaching van and tried to avoid a collision by taking to the west shoulder of the road, but the van struck 2010 Peterbilt Model 389 on the driver’s side. Bunnell, who was wearing a seat belt, died at the scene. Vanderwaal was not injured.

The accident, which happened at around 12:20-p.m, remains under investigation.
