Iowa teen killed after driving through barricades into creek

Guthrie County Sheriff Marty Arganbright says the bridge was removed last year after it collapsed when a tractor traveled over it.
An Iowa teenager died and his passenger was able to escape serious injury after their truck crashed through barricades and landed in a creek. Zachary Meacham, 17, of Guthrie Center, was killed in the crash Wednesday at Brushy Creek in Guthrie County. His passengers' condition wasn't immediately reported. The truck crashed into the barricades and drove off an 18-foot drop into the creek, landing upside down and submerged in water. Meacham was found deceased inside the vehicle. Police say he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt.
