One person is dead following a UTV/SUV collision in northeast Iowa Monday afternoon.
The Iowa State Patrol says the wreck occurred north of Waukon on Highway 9 near Lycurgus Road shortly before 3:30 p.m. Monday. 74-year-old John Regan of Waukon was driving a 2014 John Deere UTV east on the westbound shoulder of the highway when he turned in front of a 2013 GMC Terrain driven by 82-year-old Lloyd Colsch of New Albin, which was also headed east. The SUV crashed into the UTV, killing Regan.
