An Oklahoma man has succumbed to injuries he sustained in a crash near the intersection of Iowa Avenue and 18th Avenue last week.

According to a press release, officers from the Marshalltown Police Department (MPD) and deputies with the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) responded to a call for a rear-end collision at the aforementioned location and discovered that pickup truck had collided with the rear end of a semi trailer.
