Two die in crashes in western Iowa

October 20, 2011 By Radio Iowa Contributor

Two people were killed, six injured, in two separate crashes Wednesday in western Iowa. The Iowa State Patrol says a Glenwood man died and three other people were injured during a single-vehicle rollover accident just before noon Wednesday in northwestern Mills County.

Officials say 21-year-old Timothy Scott Mahan, of Council Bluffs, was traveling west on a gravel road at an excessive rate of speed when the SUV he was driving topped at hill, went out of control and rolled several times into a ditch, ejecting the driver and three passengers, none of whom were wearing seatbelts.

Nineteen-year-old Chance Erik Gunderson, of Glenwood, died in the crash. Mahan, a 23-year-old female from Council Bluffs and a 19-year old man from Glenwood were injured. The second accident happened at around 11:30 P.M. when an SUV and a pickup collided on Highway 71 in Audubon County.

The Patrol says 17-year-old Kristopher George Crawley of Hamlin died from his injuries. Officials say he was wearing a seat belt. Both drivers and a passenger in the pickup were injured and transported to area hospitals. The accident remains under investigation.
