(Forest City)– A three vehicle collision Sunday on Highway 9 in Winnebago county of north central Iowa claimed the life of a Spirit Lake man.
The Iowa State Patrol says 21-year-old David Raak of Spirit Lake was driving a 2004 Honda, 64-year-old Daniel Raak of Spirit Lake was driving a 2010 Honda and 95-year-old LeRoy Weaver of Buffalo Center was driving a 2015 Buick Encore.

Weaver’s vehicle then collided head-on with the motorcycle driven by David Raak, who died in the crash.
Daniel Raak, Weaver, and a passenger on David Raak’s motorcycle, 21-year-old Kayla Hudelson of Belle Fourche, South Dakota, were all transported by ambulance to Mercy One North Iowa in Mason City.
