MARENGO – A head-on crash between an SUV and a semi truck in rural Iowa County yesterday afternoon resulted in the death of a Marengo man.

According to traffic records, yesterday afternoon, at around 2:33pm, a 2009 Ford Escape driven by 52-year-old William Meyers of Marengo was going southbound on 210th Street while a semi truck driven by 65-year-old Russell Trimble of Marengo was going northbound on the same roadway. While entering the curve southbound, Meyers’ vehicle crossed the center line into the northbound lane for an unknown reason, resulting in an offset head-on collision with the semi truck. Meyers was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash, and the collision resulted in fatal injuries to Meyers.

No injuries were reported for Trimble. Meyers was transported to the Ankeny Medical Examiner following the accident.
