An 11-year-old girl was found bleeding from her head inside one of the vehicles. Officers believed she had a neck injury and brought her to the hospital, where she was pronounced deceased.

A witness told police that she was behind the victim’s vehicle at a four-way stop and that it was their turn to go. She said that Iversen drove through the intersection without stopping and hit both the victim vehicle and a nearby truck.
A crash reconstruction showed that Iversen was driving 63 mph at the time of the crash — the posted speed limit was 50 mph. Investigators also found that Iversen was using his phone in the moments leading up to the crash.
