 At the same time, a 2005 Peterbilt tractor trailer was traveling southbound at the same intersection. The driver of the pickup failed to yield as he turned west onto Highway 18, and both vehicles collided in the intersection, coming to rest in the southwest ditch of the junction. The driver and passenger in the pickup were not wearing seatbelts, and both were fatally injured in the crash. The driver of the semi was also not wearing a seatbelt, but was not injured.
