Two people are injured following an accident on US-69 in Cherokee County.

The crash occurred just before 8pm last night. 34-year-old James Clemens of McCune was driving a 2019 Ford Fiesta westbound on Scammon Road, east of the City of Scammon. Clemens failed to yield at a stop sign at the intersection of US-69 and drove in front of an oncoming semi driven by 46-year-old Nathan Swenson of Audubon, Iowa. The semi then struck the Fiesta in the intersection. Clemens and a passenger in the semi identified as 29-year-old Mariah Galloway of McCune both suffered serious injuries and were taken to nearby hospitals.

Two others, including a 2-year-old child, were also transported to a hospital as a precaution.
