An adult male and a teenager were injured during a pursuit that ended in a crash Saturday night, in north central Iowa’s Hamilton County. The Iowa State Patrol reports a Trooper was attempting to stop a 2013 VW at around 10:45-p.m., when the driver, 18-year old Khalil Justin Crawley, of Waterloo, attempted to flee.
The vehicle took off at a high rate of speed. When Crawley lost control of the car, it entered a ditch and rolled several times. An unidentified 16-year-old from Waterloo – whose name was withheld – was flown by Mercy 1 Aircare helicopter to Mercy Hospital in Des Moines. The teen was not wearing a seat belt. Crawley – who was buckled-up – was transported by Ellsworth Ambulance to Mary Greeley Hospital, in Ames.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Powerball jackpot will grow to an estimated $730 million after there were no winners Saturday for the lottery’s top prize. The numbers drawn in Saturday evening’s drawing of the “Powerball” game were: 14-20-39-65-67, Powerball: 2, Power Play: 3
The results come as there was also no winner of the Mega Millions jackpot on Friday. That top prize is now estimated at $850 million. It’s been nearly two years since a lottery jackpot has grown so large.
The Powerball’s $730 million top prize would be the fifth-largest ever if a lottery player strikes big in Wednesday’s drawing. The Mega Millions’ $850 million jackpot would be the third-largest ever for the drawing on Tuesday.
