Five Killed, Six Hurt In Separate Northeast Iowa Accidents
The Memorial Day weekend has gotten off to a deadly start on northeast Iowa highways.
Accidents in Bremer, Black Hawk and Fayette Counties during an 18-hour span have killed five people and injured six others. According to the Iowa State Patrol, one of the crashes was a triple fatality near West Union.
Authorities said 71-year-old Evelyn Rogers of Denver died in the most-recent crash, which happened Friday around 5 PM north of Waterloo. According to the Iowa State Patrol, Rogers was ejected when her pickup collided with another vehicle at the intersection of County Roads V-25 (Wagner Road) and C-57 (Cedar-Wapsi Road) in Black Hawk County. Troopers said Rogers stopped at the signed intersection, then pulled into the path of a van driven by 48-year-old Brian Moulds of Dunkerton.
