Two people died and a total of four people were injured during separate crashes Monday, in Iowa. The State Patrol says 17-year old Noah Moore, of Madrid, died in a Hardin County crash between a car and a semi at around 12:47-p.m.

Noah was a passenger in a 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse driven by 20-year old Jayden Moore, also of Madrid. The vehicle was traveling south on County Highway S-27, at the same time a 2001 Peterbilt semi driven by 61-year old Keith Hinders, of Eldora, was traveling eastbound on County Highway D-20. The vehicles collided at the intersection.

Noah Moore – who was not wearing a seat belt – died at the scene. Jayden Moore, and his other passenger, 17-year old Elijah Moore, along with Hinders (all of whom were wearing seat belts), were transported to a hospital in Des Moines.

The second fatal crash happened in Cedar County, at around 6:02-p.m., Monday. The Patrol says a 2007 Chevy Impala and a 2016 Ford F-350 pickup collided in the 1800 block of Iowa Highway 38. One of the victims died from their injuries. The other was transported to the University of Iowa Hospital for treatment of their injuries. No names had been released as of early Tuesday morning, pending notification of family.
