(UPDATE) A 19-year-old Sioux City woman died in a U-T-V crash early Monday in rural Plymouth County. The Iowa State Patrol says Zoey Rene Cason was driving a utility terrain vehicle down a hill on private property at 12:20 a.m. Investigators say Cason braked and turned to avoid hitting a fence post and fencing which caused the vehicle to roll. Cason was transported by private vehicle to UnityPoint St. Luke’s where she was pronounced dead. The two-seater vehicle was occupied by four people and no seat belts were used. Twenty-year old Cass Camarigg, a passenger from Sioux City, was taken to MercyOne hospital with injuries. Cason just graduated Saturday from Sioux City East High School.

Counselors will be at East High today (Tuesday) from 8 a.m. until noon for any students who wish or need to talk with them. Cason is the 2nd Sioux City student to die in an A-T-V type of accident in Plymouth County in the past four days. Austin Blakey died Friday, the day after his 8th grade graduation from Holy Cross Catholic School.
