One person was killed, two others hurt, when a car traveling in the wrong direction collided with an SUV early Saturday in western Iowa.
The accident happened a little before 3 a.m. on Interstate 29 in Harrison County.
According to the Iowa State Patrol, a car driven by 30-year-old Malka Bingham, of Omaha, was traveling northbound in the southbound lanes when it struck an SUV driven by 22-year-old Efrain Flores, of Sioux City.
Bingham suffered life-threatening injuries in the crash. Her passenger, 22-year-old Aaliyah Draine, of Omaha, died at the scene.
Bingham and Draine were not wearing seat belts. Flores was injured in the crash.
The patrol says after the vehicles came to rest, a third, southbound vehicle came upon the crash scene and went out of control in the debris field left behind by the crash.
The driver took evasive action, causing their vehicle to enter the west ditch, where it rolled over. The driver of the third vehicle was not injured.
