One person died and two people were injured during a collision Sunday afternoon, in Union County. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 1998 Dodge pickup driven by 21-year old Emily M. Haidsiak, of Creston, was traveling west on Highway 34 at around 12:17-p.m., when she lost control of the vehicle on the snow and slush covered road. The pickup crossed the center line west of Creston and entered the eastbound lane, where it struck an eastbound 2017 Chrysler minivan. The driver of the van – who was not wearing a seat belt – died at the scene. Their name was withheld pending notification of family. Haidsiak, and an infant passenger in her vehicle – who were properly belted-in – were transported by ambulance to the Greater Regional Medical Center, in Creston, for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.

The accident remains under investigation. The Iowa State Patrol says they responded to 30 crashes from 5 a.m. Sunday morning until noon, across Iowa.
