How the Highway 18 Truck Crash Unfolded

Miesner's car ended up wedged beneath the trailer of the semi. Crews had to free her from the wreckage, and she was taken by ambulance to Spencer Hospital with injuries described as life-threatening. Mazuolis was not injured.
What the Sheriff's Office Reported Afterward
The Clay County Sheriff's Office said Mazuolis received a citation for failing to obey a stop or yield sign. The Iowa State Patrol, the Everly and Royal fire departments and Spencer Ambulance assisted at the scene.
Roads are often closed for hours after a serious crash so investigators can measure and photograph the scene before anything is moved.
