(Peterson)– Authorities say a northwest Iowa woman and her newborn child have now died after a single vehicle crash near Peterson earlier this week. The accident happened early Tuesday evening on a county road three miles north of Peterson.

According to the Clay County Sheriff’s Office, 29-year-old Courtney Engeltjes of Everly left the roadway, overcorrected and her S-U-V rolled over into a ditch.

Engeltjes and her newborn daughter were both taken to Spencer Hospital and later air lifted to another hospital where they died from their injuries.
