3 killed on Jones County car-van crash

OLIN, Iowa (AP) - Three people have died and one was injured in a two-vehicle crash in Jones County about midnight Saturday. The crash was reported at 11:59 a.m. at an intersection of Iowa Highway 64 and a county road north of Olin. Iowa State Patrol troopers say the crash was between a van being driven by 60-year-old Michael Anthony Miller, of Madison, Wis., and a car being driven by Alexis Taylor. A patrol accident report says the van crossed the center line and struck the car.
Why every fatality from a crash is not legally a wrongful death

After someone dies in a motor-vehicle accident, grieving family members and friends are often left with many questions. What caused the accident? Could it have been avoided? What do they do now that their loved one is gone?

Sometimes a fatal collision happens through no one's fault. Crashes caused by weather and road conditions, or by wildlife in the roadway, are examples. But when a fatal crash is caused by negligence, then family members should pursue a wrongful death claim, to uphold the victim's rights and begin the financial recovery process.
