A north Iowa man is dead after a collision between a semi and concrete mixer.

The Iowa State Patrol says a semi tractor-trailer driven by 27-year-old Shane Stanton of Philadelphia, Mississippi, was driving south on Birch Avenue in West Bend and a concrete mixer driven by 29-year-old Taylor Chance of Burt, was eastbound on 110th Street.  The State Patrol says Stanton failed to yield the right of way and crashed with Chance around 5 pm Wednesday (11.08).

Chance was killed in the collision.  Stanton was injured and flown to University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics for treatment.
