A preliminary investigation revealed Parker was driving a 2008 Chevrolet Malibu westbound on I-80 near mile marker zero, when she lost control of the car, which rear-ended the trailer of a semi, that was also westbound. The Police report driving too fast for roadway conditions was the apparent cause of the crash. Any witnesses to the accident are encouraged to contact the Traffic Unit at 712-328-4948.

Parker suffered serious injuries, and later died. Traffic on Westbound I-80 was reduced to one lane for just short of three-hours while the accident was being investigated.
