The Red Oak Police Department says no injuries were reported following a collision Saturday morning at the intersection of N. Broadway Street and Alix Avenue. The accident happened at around 10:23-a.m., when a 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix and a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee, were traveling north on N. Broadway.

Officials say the Jeep, driven by 32-year old Heather Jean Noel Diekmann, of Shenandoah, was making a right turn onto Alix Avenue, when her SUV was struck on the passenger side by the Grand Prix, which was driven by 16-year old Cole Ray Magill, of Red Oak. Both vehicles came to rest in the intersection. Damage from the collision amounted to $4,000. No Citations were issued. Both drivers were wearing their seat belts.

(In an update to our earlier report) The Iowa State Patrol says two people from western Iowa died and a third was injured during a head-on collision Friday night between Logan and Missouri Valley, in Harrison County. Both drivers in the crash died. They were identified late Saturday afternoon as 18-year old Cody A. Wills, of Logan, and 16-year old Syler J. Haase, of Missouri Valley. A passenger in one of the vehicles, 17-year old Dalton Anderson, of Missouri Valley, was injured in the crash.

The Iowa State Patrol says a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse driven by Haase was westbound on Highway 30 at around 10:48-p.m., at the same time a 2013 Ford Focus driven by Wills was traveling eastbound. For reasons unknown the Ford crossed the centerline of the road and struck the other vehicle head-on, just east of Niagra Trail. All of the victims were wearing their seat belts.

According to reports, Haase was a Junior at the Missouri Valley High School, and a member of the 2017 Missouri Valley Big Reds Soccer Team.  Wills was a 2017 graduate of the Logan-Magnolia High School. The accident remains under investigation.

A nationally-recognized speaker will make an appearance in Iowa next week to talk about the problem of online bullying. Keith Deltano says he’ll share important information with parents about the things they need to know about the risks of cyberbullying. Deltano says, “I give parents the tools they need to help their kids make good decisions with social media and to protect their kids online and to create kids that can function in a society that can be hostile to positive behaviors.”

He says Iowa parents can’t be lulled into thinking that just because they’re in Iowa, they’re immune to the troubles of big cities. “I swim in youth culture and people may think, ‘This is Iowa, we don’t have this,’ but you have it, all right? This is there, sexting, tweeting racist comments,” Deltano says. “All of these behaviors are in Iowa, I’ve been there.”

Deltano lives with his family in North Carolina. He’s presented assemblies on topics including drug awareness, mental health and hazing. Deltano will be in Webster City on August 24th, next Thursday, for a 7 P-M appearance at the Prem Sahai Auditorium. Learn more at: www.dontbullyonline.com
