One person died during a collision between a semi and a car Thursday afternoon, in northwest Iowa’s Cherokee County. The Iowa State Patrol reports the driver of a 2006 Chevy Impala, 26-year old Alexa Lee Brewster, of Cherokee, who was wearing her seat belt, died from her injuries at a local hospital.

Authorities say the woman was stopped heading southbound on Highway 143 at the intersection with Highway 3, but then attempted to turn east bound from the stop sign, when her car was struck by a westbound 2007 Peterbilt semi. The accident happened at around 3:45-p.m.

Following the collision, the car came to rest in the north ditch, while the semi, driven by 52-year old David Allen Ten Napel, of LeMars, stopped in the eastbound lane of Highway 3.
