In this crash we have two cars entering the same intersection at once. The northbound vehicle has to stop and yield, but doesn’t. It enters the intersection striking the westbound car and is struck. The offending vehicle then entered the ditch, rolled and caught on fire. That driver was not wearing a seat belt.

The westbound vehicle (vehicle number 1) was on E53 or 240th in Greene County. The driver was 18-years-of age.

The northbound vehicle (vehicle number 2) was on Ivy Avenue. Duty to stop and yield; according to police report. The driver was 54 years-of-age.

The accident occurred at 21:53 hours or almost 10:00 pm.

The 18-year-old woman’s life was saved by wearing her seatbelt. Her name is Hannah Marie Kitt of Jefferson, Iowa. She was injured and taken by Greene County Ambulance to the Greene County Hospital.

Radio Iowa and KSOM Radio carried this story as well although they’ve not added any further details.

Older people have cell phones too. And someone who was an idiot driver at 18 can live to be an idiot 54-year-old driver too.
