(Guthrie Co.) One person was killed and two others were injured in a two-vehicle accident in Guthrie County Saturday afternoon.
The Iowa State Patrol says 88-year-old Mary Virginia Mingus, of Coon Rapids, was transported to the Guthrie County Hospital by Guthrie EMS where she died from her injuries. Jonathon Rodger Merk, 43, of Waukee, and a 12-year-old from Waukee were both transported to the Audubon County Hospital by Audubon EMS to be treated for injuries.
According to the report, Mary Virginia Mingus was driving a 2001 Ford Taurus southbound on Chestnut Road. Mingus approached the intersection of Highway 44 and Chestnut Road and pulled out in front of a westbound 2016 Ford F150, driven by Jonathon Roger Merk. Merk’s F150 struck Mingus’ Taurus, sending both vehicles into the south ditch.
