Three people were killed in a two-car crash yesterday afternoon, Sunday, Jan. 22, just west of Rippey.
Killed
in the crash were David James Muir, 42, Rippey; Andrew Gordan Jackson, 19,
Orient; and Dwight Lee Snowgren, 54, Jamaica.
According
to the Iowa State Patrol, the crash occurred on County Road E57 one mile west
of Rippey shortly before 2 p.m. A 2002 Pontiac Firebird driven by Muir was eastbound
at a high rate of speed when it went out of control and crossed the center
line, colliding with a westbound 2011 Ford F150 pickup driven by Snowgren.
The
impact pushed both vehicles into the north ditch, where both vehicles rolled
onto their sides. Jackson, a passenger in the Firebird, and both drivers were
killed and pronounced dead at the scene.
According
to the Creston News Advertiser, Jackson
was wearing a seat belt but Muir and Snowgren were note.
The
accident remains under investigation. The Iowa State Patrol was assisted by the
Greene County Sheriff’s Department.
Services
are pending at Slininger-Rossow Funeral Home in Jefferson for Snowgren, a
Greene County resident. He lived at 1860 340th Street, the line
between Greene and Guthrie counties, on the Greene County side, just north of
Jamaica.
