Urbana, Iowa — A Sutherland man escaped injury in a traffic crash that claimed five lives this past week in eastern Iowa. It happened near the Benton County town of Urbana.
The Iowa State Patrol says the victims were in a pick-up truck that collided with a semi driven by Jack Youde of Sutherland on Thursday afternoon. All five died at the scene. An accident report from the Iowa State Patrol says 19-year-old Quentin Ary was driving the pick-up on a rural road, entered an intersection with Iowa Highway 150 and struck the north-bound semi.
The victims have been identified as Ary; 20-year-old Nicole Jacobson; 14-year-old Hunter Tuttle; and 12-year-old Zoey Tuttle, all of Vinton; and 17-year-old Triston Randall of Urbana.
Youde escaped injury.
According to investigators, Ary was the only person among the five victims wearing a seatbelt.
