Sheriff Rick Eberhardt says 59-year old John Malmberg died from his injuries in the Tuesday crash northeast of Pierce.

Authorities say a southbound sport utility vehicle driven by 27-year-old Erick Weisz, also from Norfolk, failed to stop at an intersection and collided with Malmberg’s eastbound vehicle.

Malmberg was flown to Mercy Hospital in Sioux City, Iowa, where he was pronounced dead. Weisz was taken to Faith Regional Hospital in Norfolk, where he was treated and released. A passenger in Weisz’s vehicle was treated and released at the scene.

The accident is still under investigation.
