The collision occurred around 6:40 p.m. Thursday on the south side of Marengo, just south of U.S. Highway 6. The Iowa State Patrol says a sport utility vehicle started to go onto the road shoulder and its driver overcorrected and crossed the center line, hitting an oncoming car. A 42-year-old woman, a 14-year-old child and an 11-year-old were pronounced dead.
