A three-vehicle wreck claimed two lives Tuesday in Lee County. According to the Iowa State Patrol, at 5:29 p.m. on Highway 2 a string of vehicles stopped for a flagger at the beginning of a work zone facing east bound. The first vehicle was a Mack straight truck driven by 57-year-old Robert Luke Jr. of Washington, followed by a Harley Davidson motorcycle with 67-year-old Michael Horn and 66-year-old Linda Horn of Donnellson on it. A Nissan Frontier driven by 54-year-old Chad Davis of Donnellson was eastbound on Highway 2 and failed to stop, striking the motorcycle and pushing it into the Luke truck.

Both Michael Horn and Linda Horn died at the wreck. Davis was taken by ambulance to the Fort Madison Hospital. The incident remains under investigation with the Iowa State Patrol.
