A West Liberty resident was killed in a two-vehicle accident south of Nichols.
According to the Iowa State Patrol, at about 6:00 Saturday morning a 2015 Ford Explorer was northbound on Highway 70 when it crossed the centerline near the intersection with 200th Street and struck a southbound 2011 Chevy Malibu head-on. The driver of the Malibu, who the State Patrol says was not wearing a seat belt, died at the scene. The victim has only been identified as a resident of West Liberty.
The State Patrol says a four-year-old was restrained in a car seat inside the victim’s vehicle. Two unidentified subjects were transported via West Liberty Ambulance to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics with unspecified injuries.
The accident remains under investigation.
