Woman dies in car accident

One person was killed, another hurt, during a single-vehicle rollover accident in western Iowa’s Adair County. According to the Iowa State Patrol, 63-year old Janice Marie Allen died after the 2002 Ford Focus she was driving went out of control and rolled about a mile east of Casey at around three P.M. on Monday. Officials say when the car veered off onto the eastbound shoulder of the interstate, Allen overcorrected, causing the vehicle to dart into the median, where it rolled twice. The car then crossed the westbound lanes of traffic and came to rest in the north ditch. An unidentified 57-year old female passenger in the vehicle was injured. The Patrol’s new accident information website did not indicate where the women were from.
