Slippery road conditions contributed to a fatal collision Tuesday morning, in Union County. The Iowa State Patrol reports 18-year old Alexis L. Rounds, of Creston died, after the 1998 Jeep Wrangler she was driving went out of control on Highway 34, about one-mile west of Creston.
The SUV spun across the center line and into the eastbound lane, directly into the path of a 2009 Peterbilt semi, driven by 64-year old Gregory A. Powell, of Diagonal. The semi hit the Jeep, over-riding it before both vehicles came to rest against a guardrail. Both vehicles were then consumed by fire. The accident happened at around 5:44-a.m.
Rounds died at the scene. Powell was uninjured in the crash.
