2 killed, 1 injured in central Iowa crash

TOLEDO, Iowa (AP) - The Iowa State Patrol says two people are dead and another person was injured in a crash that occurred on Highway 30 in a central Iowa county.

Troopers say 62-year-old Dwight Conway of Hot Springs, Arkansas, failed to stop at a stop sign on Wednesday afternoon when his vehicle was struck by a semitrailer on the highway in Tama County.

Both vehicles rolled on their sides and into a ditch. Authorities pronounced Conway and his passenger, Phillip Core of Pleasantville, Iowa, dead at the scene.

The tractor-trailer's driver, 50-year-old Jeff Schniederman, was taken to a hospital for treatment of his injuries.

The crash remains under investigation.
