The Iowa State Patrol reports the driver of the pickup, 47-year-old Michael A. Cox, from Ravenna, NE, who was not wearing a seat belt, died when his eastbound vehicle crossed the center line of Highway 21 and struck the rear dual wheels of the westbound semi, driven by 35-year old Nathaniel J. Pegelow, of Salisbury, MO. The accident happened at around 1:45-p.m.

The Patrol says when the collision occurred, the left front tire of the pickup came off and struck a westbound SUV driven by 24-year-old Veronica Marie Barreto Rosa, from Lincoln, NE.  The pickup came to rest in a ditch. The other two vehicles came to rest on the roadway.
