DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Three people, including a 1-year-old, died after their car collided with a semi truck on Interstate 80 early Saturday.

The Iowa State Patrol said 28-year-old Gustabo Salcedo entered I-80 going westbound in the eastbound lanes in Polk County. A semitrailer truck collided head-on with Salcedo’s 2002 Volkswagen Golf and all three people inside the car died.

The State Patrol said Salcedo, 24-year-old passenger Diana Sanchez-Tello and a 1-year-old whose name was withheld died in the crash. Both Salcedo and Sanchez-Tello were from Des Moines.



The crash report did not indicate whether the 59-year-old driver of the truck was injured in the crash.
