The Marshalltown Community School District has additional counselors available at Franklin Elementary school today after a student died in an accident.
Eight-year-old old Christian Maxon was crossing Main Street near Franklin Elementary School yesterday in Marshalltown, when a vehicle driven by 71-year-old Marilyn Diggins turned east and hit the boy.
Maxon was taken to Unity Point Health-Marshalltown and later flown to Iowa Methodist Hospital in Des Moines, where he died from his injuries.
Charges have not yet been filed.
