GRINNELL, Iowa — One person is dead and another is injured following a three-vehicle crash in Poweshiek County, according to a Iowa State Patrol crash report.
Iowa State Patrol claims 74-year-old Mary K. Cowan, of Greencastle, Mo., was traveling south on Highway 63 just east of Grinnell when she failed to stop at the intersection with Highway 6 at around 1:56 p.m. Monday.
Cowan's SUV struck a trailer being pulled by a pickup truck, which was traveling west on Highway 6. The impact of the crash pushed the pickup truck's trailer into the eastbound lane.
Then, a semi-truck traveling east on Highway 6 proceeded to crash into both Cowan's vehicle and the pickup truck.
All three vehicles ended up in the north ditch, where Cowan's vehicle caught on fire.
Cowan died as a result of the crash. The driver of the pickup truck was injured and taken to a hospital for treatment.
The driver of the semi-truck did not report any injuries.
Iowa State Patrol is still investigating this crash.
