2 killed, 2 injured in Keystone crash
KEYSTONE, IOWA - Two persons were killed in a car-truck crash 2½ miles south of Keystone Sunday morning.
Killed outright-were Robert Tollefson, 34, of Belle Plaine, driver of the car, and his passenger Joan Marie Weaver, 21, of Cedar Rapids.
Their westbound car collided head-on with a truck on Highway 30 south of Keystone. Driver of the truck was Cherlyn Beck, 27, of Vining. She and her passenger, her husband Le Roy, were treated at a Cedar Rapids hospital for head cuts.
The crash occurred shortly after 8 a.m., and troopers say they believe one of the vehicles crossed the center line.
