Blair Woman Killed In Car Crash In Iowa

A one-car crash claimed the life of Jonni Minor, 30, of Blair early Saturday morning, the Iowa State Patrol reported.

Ms. Minor was the passenger in a 1981 Chevrolet Malibu Classic driven by Marc Leonard, 37, of Mondamin, Iowa.

The vehicle was southbound on Interstate 29 about a mile north of Loveland, Iowa, near the Boyer River Bridge, when it crashed into a guardrail.

The patrol reported that the driver lost control and crashed into the guardrail causing extensive damage to the passenger side of the car.

Leonard reportedly fled the scene and had to be tracked down by Harrison County Sheriff's deputies. He was arrested on suspicion of leaving the scene of an accident and failure to maintain control.

Leonard is currently being held by Harrison County Sheriff Terry Baxter. He is being held on a $34,060 bond for suspicion of vehicular homicide. The accident remains under investigation.

A 1985 graduate of Blair High School, Ms. Minor was employed at Fru-Con Construction Company.
