An elderly central Iowa couple was killed in a car crash last night.
Des Moines police say a Buick was turning at an intersection when it was struck on the passenger side by a Camaro.
The Buick hit a utility pole and overturned, killing both occupants. They’re identified as 76-year-old Fred Lehman, and his 79-year-old wife, Mary. Both were from Des Moines.
Police say the driver of the Camaro was an 18-year-old Des Moines man.
A news release says witness statements and evidence at the scene indicate a significant contributing factor in the crash was — the Camaro traveling at a high-rate of speed.
The teen driver’s name has not been released and there’s no word yet on any charges.
