HARTLEY – A teenager died in a single vehicle crash in O’Brien County Wednesday morning. The Iowa State Patrol reports the unidentified juvenile was traveling eastbound on 300th Street in a rural part of the county and struck a creek embankment. The 16-year-old was not wearing a seat belt and died from his injuries.

JOHNSON COUNTY – The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation is looking into the death of an individual at the Johnson County Jail earlier this month. A press release issued late Wednesday indicated a deputy was monitoring a camera and witnessed 36-year-old Nathaniel Davis, Jr., fall over on camera after he was booked into the facility for a seven day sentence. Jail staff responded and attempted CPS and a defibrillator. He later died at the University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics on March 19th. Iowa’s DCI and the State Jail Inspector are investigating.

DES MOINES – Legislation is moving ahead with bipartisan support that would restrict, but not ban, the use of traffic cameras in the state. KCCI-TV reports a bill that made it through the house subcommittee would require communities that install speed cameras to prove its improving safety along a roadway and changing driver behavior. It requires those municipalities to apply through the Iowa DOT and include justification for installation. The bill applies to any state, federal, or interstate highway. It would still need to pass out of both chambers in the next few weeks to take effect July 1st.
