(New Virginia, Iowa) – A collision Thursday night in southwestern Warren County resulted in one-person being flown to a hospital in Des Moines. The Iowa State Patrol says the accident happened at around 8:05-p.m. on Interstate 35, near mile-maker 43, west of New Virginia.

Authorities say a pickup driven by 44-year-old Ariel Suarez Irsula, of Houston, TX, was southbound on I-35 in the right lane, pulling a flatbed trailer. A car driven by 22-year-old Juan Daniel Perez, of Osceola, was southbound in the same location, approaching the pickup/trailer at a high rate of speed. When Perez’ vehicle failed to move to the left, it struck the rear of the trailer, and traveled under the trailer.

The pickup pulled over onto the right shoulder of the road with the car stuck underneath the trailer. Perez was wearing his seat belt. He was flown by helicopter to Mercy Hospital in Des Moines.
