A semi that failed to yield at a four-way stop in northwest Iowa, struck pickup truck late Sunday morning, killing a teenage passenger in the semi. The Iowa State Patrol says the accident happened in Moville at around 10:15-a.m., at the intersection of U-S Highway 20 and Iowa Highway 140.

A 2015 International semi driven by 37-year old Leuchann A. Johnson, of Williamsburg, VA, was traveling west on Highway 20 when it collided with a northbound 2000 Ford Ranger, driven by 62-year old Roger J. Clark, of Moville. Following the collision, the semi came to rest on its side, in the median.

15-year old Leuchann Johnson, Jr., of Williamsburg, VA. died from his injuries at the scene. Clark was transported to the hospital by Moville Ambulance.

Neither of the accident victims were wearing a seat belt. The Patrol was assisted at the scene by the Woodbury County Sheriff’s Office, Moville Fire Department & Ambulance, and the Lawton Fire Dept/Ambulance.
