The Iowa State Patrol late Saturday night, released an official report with regard to a two-vehicle head-on crash that took place early Friday morning in Cass County. The accident that occurred about 6:50-a.m. two-miles west of Massena on Highway 92, claimed the life of 22-year old Patrick Lee Schultz, of Cumberland, and resulted in injuries to 38-year old Jeremiah Juhl, of Fontanelle.

The Patrol says Schultz was eastbound on the highway, when for reasons unknown, the 1997 Chevy Blazer he was driving crossed the center line of the road and entered the westbound lanes, where it struck a 2019 Isuzu NPR XD, driven by Juhl.

The SUV came to rest in the middle of Highway 92, while the car came to rest in the westbound lanes and north shoulder. Schultz, who was not wearing a seat belt, died at the scene. Juhl, who was wearing a seat belt, was transported by Midwest MedAir to Iowa Methodist Hospital for treatment of his injuries. He said later in social media post, that he suffered from a fractured vertebra and some broken ribs, along with other injuries.
