A Mt. Pleasant man was injured in a three car accident Monday in Benton County. Fifty-eight-year-old Michael Brawner was operating a semi in the northbound lane of Highway 21 when a Toyota Camry driven by 59-year-old Mark Skyles of Waterloo crossed the centerline and struck Brawner’s semi head on. The Camry was propelled back and struck a third vehicle which was southbound. The third car was a Toyota Sienna driven by 39-year-old Ryan Rosauer of Junction City, Kansas.

Skyles, the driver of the Camry, died and Brawner was injured. The Mt. Pleasant man was transported by Elberon EMS to St. Luke’s Hospital.
