A Vail man was killed over the weekend as a result of a two-vehicle crash in Crawford County. According to the Iowa State Patrol, the accident occurred at approximately 1:15 p.m. Saturday on Boyer Boulevard near the intersection with G Avenue, about two miles northeast of Deloit. Authorities say a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, operated by a 15-year-old juvenile male from Schleswig, was traveling southbound on Boyer Boulevard and had difficulty seeing due to snow and gravel that was disturbed by an unrelated vehicle. The juvenile’s truck collided with a northbound 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, driven by 73-year-old Richard Healy of Vail. The Healy truck came to rest in the east ditch, while the other truck stopped in the roadway. Healy was not wearing a seatbelt and died as a result of injuries sustained in the crash. Evidence from the scene suggested Healy’s truck was left of the roadway’s centerline, leading to the crash. The Crawford County Sheriff’s Office, Crawford County Emergency Medical Services, and several local fire departments also assisted at the scene.
