Biggie's right, I stand corrected.
The wrong-way driver who caused the collision with officers in Des Moines died on the scene. I misread an earlier article; sorry about that. Here's more:
Snip:
Benjamin Edward Beary was supposed to be celebrating his 26th birthday Monday.
On Friday night, the Knoxville, Iowa, man told a friend he was going to a West Des Moines bar to watch March Madness.
A few hours later, he was driving his Ford Taurus the wrong way on Interstate 80 when he crashed head-on into a Des Moines police SUV carrying two officers and their prisoner. Beary's vehicle burst into flames, and he died in the collision. The State medical examiner's office used dental records to confirm his identity.
The occupants of the SUV he struck — officers Carlos Puente-Morales and Susan Farrell and their prisoner, Tosha Nicole Hyatt — were all killed.
