An 88-year-old man and his 84-year-old wife have been killed in collisions with two semitrailers at an intersection in northern Iowa's Kossuth County. The Iowa State Patrol says the accident occurred around 4 p.m. Thursday on the southern edge of Bancroft.

The minivan soon was struck by an eastbound truck driven by 42-year-old Brooke Strom, of Wells, Minnesota. The impact spun the minivan into the path of a truck driven by 60-year-old Terry Alt, of Algona. Foertsch and his wife, Agnes Foertsch, were pronounced dead at the scene.
