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.
