(Lyon County, Iowa) – Four people were injured during a collision Monday afternoon in northwest Iowa. The Iowa State Patrol reports the accident happened on Highway 75 near 210th Street, south of Rock Rapids, at around 1:50-p.m. Authorities say a Chevy Malibu driven by a 15-year-old male from Hull (IA) was traveling south on Highway 75, when it crossed the center-line of the road and struck the side of a trailer being pulled by a pickup truck. The car then struck a Honda SUV head-on before coming to rest in the middle of the highway.

The SUV came to rest in the east ditch, and the pickup stopped on the north shoulder of the road, following the collision. A 13-year-old male passenger in one of the vehicles, along with 36-year-old Norma Niz-Niz, both from Hull, the driver of the SUV, 62-year-old Kathleen Goedken, of Rock Rapids, and 90-year-old Lucy Hoppe, of Rock Valley, were all injured in the crash. The driver of the pickup, 66-year-old Russell Holzman, of LeMars, was not hurt.

Three of the accident victims were flown by helicopter to hospital in Sioux Falls, SD. The Patrol was assisted at the scene by Avera Air Care Flight and Sanford Air Med, along with Lyon County EMS.
