Head-On Crash In Pocahontas County Claims Life Of A Colorado Man

August 08, 2025




(Pocahontas)– A head-on collision Thursday on Highway 4 about six miles north of Pomeroy claimed the life of a Colorado man.

The Iowa State Patrol says 31-year-old Darwin Rosales Castillo of Westminster, Colorado was driving a 2005 Subaru northbound when he crossed the center line and collided with a southbound 2024 Ford Explorer driven by 65-year-old Ronald Meyer of Pocahontas.

Rosales Castillo died in the crash; Meyer was injured in the crash but apparently wasn’t taken to a hospital. Troopers say Rosales Castillo wasn’t wearing a seatbelt.

The collision took place shortly after 12 noon.
