Authorities have not released their names yet. Kcrgtv9s brady smith joins us in the newsroom. Brady, what else are investigators saying about the crash . Trooper bob conrad with the iowa state patrol says while it appears ice did play a role, he says its also apparent that the driver of the minivan failed to maintain control of that vehicle. He says the van was also overloaded, and that meant too many people inside the vehicle, and not enough seat belts. Cathy cutler with the local dot District Office says they had road crews on the stretch of highway 30 where the crash happened, during and after the storm that hit eastern iowa earlier this week. She told us the plow and salt trucks had a constant presence on area highways, and they had cleared off that section of road. Trooper conrad says Road Conditions can be unpredictable this time of year, and its possible there could have been snow melting on that section of road, then refroze overnight. He told us all three People Killed were not wearing seat vehicle. 53 07 15 i cannot say enough about seat belts. Two of the fatalities were fully ejected out of this vehicle. Seat belts anywhere in the vehicle make a difference. Seat belts save lives. 13 24 we actually had called in extra people, just because of the duration of this storm. Especially in the rural areas, we were seeing some blowing and drifting snow. So we wanted to make sure we did have that presence 24 7. Trooper conrad says this crash is certainly a tragedy, but he hopes others will take from it the importance of wearing seat belts, no matter where youre riding in n vehicle. When we spoke with conrad earlier today, he mentioned their effort to notify family members was taking a bit longer than expected, and they had expanded their search outside us borders.

An eastern iowa woman is among thousands who have reported complications permanent Birth Control product. Essure is a device that the chemical and pharmaceutic al company, bayer, owns. Its a coil that a doctor implants into a womans fallopian tubes, which then prevents conception. Marketing for the product says its a nonsurgical process thats been around since 2002. But over the past several years, the food and Drug Administration has received more and more reports about essure problems. The fda is actively evaluating the product after an intensive Panel Meeting in september. And it plans to announce its findings by the end of the month. Kcrg tv nines Jill Kasparie joins us in the studio. Jill, many are waiting to see what will happen. Thats right. Women say they have all kinds of side effects from this device side effects they werent told about when doctors implanted the device and arent listed as risks with essure. One cedar rapids woman we spoke with just had a hysterectomy to get the devices im still processing all of this. Im still thinking about why this is even happening. Whats happening to Brittany Dougan all started in 2009. When i had my last child i decided i didnt really want anymore. The mother of three talked to her doctor about essure and got it implanted shortly after. Six months after the procedure i noticed i was feeling not normal, very lethargic, very fatigue, i was tired all of the time. And so i was up at the university trying to seek answers as to why i was feeling these ways. Dougan says after thousands of dollars of medical bills stacked up, one obgyn mentioned essure might be her problem. He directed her to a Facebook Page where about 25thousand women are sharing their symptoms. And they sounded familiar. Chronic fatigue, bloating, of us women, there are days you look six months pregnant and you are not. Headaches, we call it a brain fog, but its just confusion. Dougan filed a complaint with the fda. The agency says it has received more than five thousand formal reports of issues with essure since it was approved in 2002. Nats transition of your choosing . Dr. Kelly ward an obgyn at the university of iowa hospitals and clinics has been pututng essure in patients for nearly a decade. The product is just a small coil. We put a hystoroscope through the cervix to the uterus and we deploy these coils so that the tail of the coil is in the uterus. The coils deploy along the length of the tube and this area will form a scar. She says most of her patients who get the device are happy with the results. I have put in hundreds of coils four. Essures labeling warns about chronic pelvic pain and the obgyn says that can happen in some women. Whether the product coululcause the other symptoms described by women like hougan. I think in certain patients potentially. But i think thats a small subset. I think many more people could benefit from it if they are the right patients for the prredure. She believes some of these symptoms could be from withdrawal following use of other hormonal methods of Birth Control. The obgyn says shes interested to hear what the fda has to say at the end of february. I think its important for Womens Health to keep womens reproductive rights in their its not safe, we shouldnt use it. But if it is safe in the right setting, to take it away from women is not a good thing. Other women to know nothing good can come from essure. Of her system, shehe her children. I just, over the years, have not been able to do things that so she shes taking a stand with thousands of other women making sure that bayer and the fda hear their stories. We are real people and this is happening to us and to get rid of it. Right now they are protected until february when they come out with their final decision theres nothing we can do, we are just sitting ducks. We reached out to bayer about this issue. The company sent us a statement saying it stands by essure and it reads in part, the safety and efficacy of essure is orted by more thahaa decade of science and real world clinical experience. I also talked with the fda. A spokeswoman says manufacturer s have to submit annual reports about devices and reports of death or serious injury. The fda says any time a device on the market is causing problems, they review it to determine if more action is needed. Beth and bruce again, the know more about their review of the product by the end of the month. Thanks, jill.
