As the teen was pulling into the inside southbound lane, a southbound 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee driven by 73-year-old Agustin Rodriguez Muneton of Ainsworth was changing lanes, striking the Trailblazer in the process.

Rodriguez Muneton and 55-year-old Maria Rodriguez, also of Ainsworth, were transported to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics by Riverside ambulance. Their conditions have not been released.

The accident remains under investigation.
