A woman from Fairfax, Iowa, died in a wreck off of Highway 218 just north of Ainsworth which was found Tuesday morning at 8:48 a.m. and the time of the accident remains unknown. According to the Iowa State Patrol, 29-year-old Natalie Beth Cole was southbound on Highway 218 and left the road surface on the gravel median shoulder. She then over corrected and left the road, going into the west ditch. The 1994 Buick Skylark came to rest in a creek.

The vehicle was not located until daylight and Cole was located outside of the vehicle. The rear passenger door was open and it appeared that she had opened the door and crawled out of the water into nearby grass. The cause of death has not been released at this time.
