In an update to our report earlier this week, the Iowa State Patrol says a man who was injured in a Monona County collision Monday night, has died from his injuries. The Patrol reports 93-year old Lawrence Nelson, of Mapleton, passed away at Mercy Hospital in Sioux City, where he was flown to by helicopter, following the collision that occurred just before 11-p.m. Monday, northwest of Mapleton.

Nelson’s 2014 Chevy Impala had collided head-on with a 2015 Jeep Cherokee, driven by 26-year old Tari Miller, of Mapleton, as both vehicles were traveling on Highway 141, just west of Plum Avenue. Both drivers were wearing their seat belts. Miller was transported by  Mapleton Rescue to Mercy/Sioux City.

The accident remains under investigation.
