All subjects were wearing seatbelts at the time of the accident.
The accident remains under investigation.
The Cerro Gordo County Sheriffss Department was assisted by Mason City Fire Department and Mason City Fire Medics.
Lucky to be alive. Hopefully it’s a wakeup call.
Why is this a wake up call? Wearing seatbelt? Yes. Texting? No Driving in the winter in Iowa? Yes. What should she have done differently?
I just made a comment. Were you in the vehicle? If not, how do you know what was going on. You will have to ask the driver what she could have done differently to have prevented this accident. Go ahead, there’s always a true answer, if you can get one.
