Iowa woman injured in citation-laden Liberty Grove crash

One person suffered a minor injury in a Saturday afternoon crashed that yielded six citations between the two drivers.

 

The accident occurred at the intersection of County Highway ZZ and Old Stage Road shortly after 4:45 p.m. According to the accident report, a 28-year-old Coralville, Iowa woman was driving south on Old Stage Road after pausing at the stop sign when she was struck by an oncoming vehicle driven by a 36-year-old Sister Bay man. He was heading eastbound with the right-of-way when the accident occurred. Due to the speed, the two vehicles careened over to the northbound lane of Old Stage Road with the Sister Bay man’s van resting on top of the Iowa woman’s hatchback.

 

When the deputy arrived on the scene, the Iowa woman admitted that she stopped at the stop sign, but did not see the other vehicle when she tried crossing and was struck. Her passenger, a 71-year-old Harlan, Iowa woman, complained of neck pain but did not need to be taken to the hospital for further treatment. She was cited for failing to yield at a stop sign.

 

The other driver and his passenger, a 47-year-old Sister Bay man, were uninjured. He ended up receiving five citations due to the incident, two of which carried mandatory court dates. He was cited with operating a vehicle on a revoked license, failing to install an interlock ignition device, operating a vehicle without insurance, driving an unregistered vehicle, and displaying unauthorized plates. Both vehicles had to be towed due to disabling damage.
