Three kids, one adult killed in Iowa crash that also hurt nine

WELLSBURG, Iowa (AP) — Authorities have identified the three young children and one adult who died in a rollover crash in Grundy County that also injured the nine other passengers Friday morning. 

The Iowa State Patrol said 1-year-old Marlin Borntreger, 2-year-old Rebecca Borntreger, 4-year-old Emma Borntreger and 22-year-old Ervin Borntreger of Delhi all died.

None of the occupants of the van were using seatbelts or child car seats. 

Iowa State Patrol spokesman Alex Dinkla said the driver lost control of the van on a snow-covered stretch of U.S. Highway 20 near Wellsburg. Four passengers were ejected when the van entered the median and rolled over. 

Dinkla said he didn’t have updated conditions on the six adults and three young children who were injured.
