(Irwin, Iowa) – Two people were injured during a collision late Tuesday morning east of Irwin, in Audubon County. According to the State Patrol, a 2010 Chevy Equinox driven by 44-year-old Tatum R. Schmidt, of Savannah, Missouri, was traveling south on Bluebird Avenue at around 11:55-a.m., Tuesday, when Schmidt failed to stop at the intersection with 150th Street. A 1997 Kenworth bobtail semi tractor driven by 42-year-old Nicholas Koeppe, of Exira, was traveling east on 150th, and was struck by the Chevy on the driver’s side in the intersection.

After the collision, the semi tractor left the road to the right and rolled over, coming to rest on its top in the south ditch off 150th. Koeppe was transported by Irwin Rescue to Myrtue Medical Center, in Harlan. Schmidt’s SUV traveled east following the crash, and came to rest facing northwest in the center of 150th. The Patrol says Schmidt was transported by LifeFlight to Methodist Hospital in Des Moines.

Both drivers were wearing their seat belts.
