Why you never pass on a hill...

Posted on Nov 29, 2010

Two adults were injured and two children died after the car they were passengers in hit a semi-truck head-on at the crest of a hill. The oncoming driver, Nina McNeese driving a 2001 Kia appears to have no fault in this one. You never attempt to pass at the crest of a hill, even if it is marked as a pass zone; which in this case the Iowa State Patrol indicates it was not.

A crash occurred in Montgomery County on November 28, 2010

UNIT # 1 WAS SB ON US HWY 48 WHEN IT ATTEMPTED TO PASS TWO NON
CONTACT VEHICLES UP A HILL IN A NO PASSING ZONE UNIT #2 WAS NB
ON US HWY 48 WHEN UNIT # 1 AND #2 COLLIDED AT THE CREST OF A
HILL
ASSISTING THE IOWA STATE PATROL WERE THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY
SHERIFFS OFFICE, RED OAK POLICE, AND RED OAK FIRE AND RESCUE
