Lindsey Richelle Daleske, 41, of McCallsburg, Iowa, was killed in a car crash on Eastman Avenue in State Center on Friday, according to the Iowa State Patrol.
How the Eastman Avenue Crash Unfolded
The Iowa State Patrol said the crash happened at about 4:07 p.m. at Eastman Avenue and 190th Street. Daleske was driving a northbound 2018 Kia Optima when it collided head-on with a southbound 2013 Kia Sorento. The Iowa State Patrol said a 15-year-old was driving the Sorento and was trying to get around other vehicles on a stretch where passing is not allowed. Daleske died at a hospital in the area, and the Iowa State Patrol said the teenage driver was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries.
What Is Known After the Marshall County Crash
The Iowa State Patrol has not announced any charges in the crash. No other details about the investigation have been released. State Center police, fire and EMS and the Marshall County Sheriff's Office helped the Iowa State Patrol at the scene.
Investigators work quickly at the scene because marks on the road and other evidence fade fast. Much of the slower work happens later, away from the scene.

Lost someone in a crash like this?
Here is what families in Iowa usually need, in the order it comes up.
Death certificates. The funeral home or the family can order them, and banks and insurers each usually want a copy.
Crash report. The crash report is usually ready a few weeks after the crash, and you can still get it later.
Funeral costs. Every state has a victim fund that pays funeral costs after some crashes, and the fund decides who qualifies.
Survivor payments. If the person who died had worked, their spouse or children may get monthly Social Security payments. Applying early matters.
Insurance offer. You can turn down the insurer's first offer and ask for more.
