A Chariton man is dead after a two-vehicle accident between Dallas Center and Grimes last night.
According to the Iowa State Patrol, a 1994 Buick Century driven by 23 year-old Michael James McAfee of Adel was traveling westbound on 250th Street around 10pm Wednesday.
McAfee failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection of U Avenue and was struck on the passenger side by a 2009 Chevy Colbalt driven by 58 year-old Kent Winslow Mills of Dallas Center.
Mills’ vehicle came to rest in the southwest ditch of the intersection, while McAfee’s vehicle came to rest upside down in the same ditch, west of the other car.
31 year-old Gregory Dean Anderson of Chariton was killed in the crash. Both drivers were also injured, with McAfee being transported via Mercy One helicopter to Mercy Hospital in Des Moines. The extent of their injuries is not known at this time.
The accident report shows both Anderson and Mills were wearing their seatbelt at the time of the crash, but no word on if McAfee was or not.
The accident remains under investigation and the State Patrol was assisted at the scene by the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office.
