Iowa Woman to Stand Trial in Crash That Killed Nebraska Woman, Granddaughter

fatal-crash(AP) — A northwest Iowa woman is set to stand trial in connection with a January car crash that killed a Nebraska woman and her granddaughter.

The trial for 28-year-old Heather Reisdorph, of Sioux City, is scheduled Thursday in Dakota County Court.

Reisdorph is charged with two counts of misdemeanor motor vehicle homicide.

Authorities say Reisdorph’s vehicle was traveling on U.S. Highway 77 near Dakota City when it rear-ended a car driven by 57-year-old Patricia Oldenburg, of Homer, Neb. The impact pushed Oldenburg’s car into oncoming traffic and another vehicle struck it.

Oldenburg and her 3-year-old granddaughter died from their injuries.
