#2: NEWS STORYA Rockford, Iowa, woman died Monday morning of injuries suffered in a car accident a week ago. Yvonne Stille, 53, died at St. Mary's Hospital in Rochester, Minnesota, according to a hospital spokeswoman.
Stille was critically injured when the vehicle she was driving was rear-ended by a pickup driven by Joe McNally, 29, of Memphis, Tennessee, near Marble Rock on July 11, 1993.
McNally was arrested last Tuesday night on an aggravated misdemeanor charge of causing injury with a motor vehicle; according to Floyd County Sheriff Bill Cavanaugh. The charge alleges that McNally was driving while intoxicated.
He was held Tuesday night in the Floyd County Jail and released on $1,350 bond the next day, Cavanaugh said.
Now, McNally could face a felony charge of vehicular homicide -- which carries a maximum sentence of ten years in prison, and a $10,000 fine -- because of Stille's death, according to Trooper Dan Corrigan, a technical investigator for the Iowa State Patrol.
Troopers and Floyd County Attorney Normand Klemesrud could decide whether to file new charges within the next day or two, Corrigan said.
