Irene Wyatt Killed by Car Accident on Highway 62 near Bellevue, IA


Bellevue, IA — Yesterday afternoon, a local woman was involved in a serious car accident along Highway 62 in Bellevue that resulted in her passing. Police identified Irene Wyatt, 84, as the woman who was killed on Thursday (December 18, 2014) after her car lost control along Highway 62 and crashed.

The accident happened around 3:15 p.m. yesterday afternoon, roughly 5 miles west of Bellevue. Wyatt had been driving her vehicle west along the highway when she lost control near 328th Street. Her car swerved off the roadway and lost traction on the shoulder, causing it to flip over several times.

Her vehicle came to rest in a nearby cornfield, the news reports say, and she was trapped inside. After being rescued by emergency workers and being taken to a hospital, however, Wyatt passed away from her injuries. This is still under investigation, it seems, as the authorities in Bellevue don’t know why Mrs. Wyatt lost control of her car in the first place. Nobody else was in the car with her.

I'm a former employee. I had brought up this exact scenario and suggested a maintenance procedure that would eliminate the possibility of this type injury. Obviously my warning went unheeded.

I was actually a couple cars back from this wreck, one of the first on the scene, and helped administer CPR on the victims. The truck driver was going way too fast, but it was actually his trailer that swung around and hit the suv, the semi-truck ended in the median.

A lot of people say smack about lawyers, but I want to say that I'm glad there is a way that people who are wronged by corporate neglect can get justice and force change. We are living in a world where corporations and govt care less than ever about common people, and I support your work. I hope I will never need your services.

Thank you for posting these accident articles on your site. At the company that I work for, e deal with monitoring construction activity and work around trenches and all sorts of construction equipment/vehicles. I sometimes wonder if construction companies have enough safety training to inform employees of how to protect themselves while on the job.
