IOWA COUNTY, IA -- An 80-year-old Illinois man died Wednesday morning in a multi-vehicle accident after running a stop sign near Interstate 80 in Williamsburg, according to 1630 KCJJ.
The fatal collision occurred on M Avenue off the I-80 westbound exit ramp shortly after 10:00 a.m.
An early investigation by the Iowa State Patrol indicates three vehicles were involved. A 52-year-old man was driving a semi-truck southbound on M Avenue at the same time the victim had just exited I-80 westbound in a Toyota. A 48-year-old man behind the wheel of a GMC was stopped at a stop sign and about to turn left onto M Avenue.
Authorities said the victim ran the stop sign, resulting in a collision with the semi. Debris from that crash struck the nearby GMC.
