TAMA, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa State Patrol says two men have died in a crash during a police pursuit in Tama just before midnight on Friday, Jan. 6.

A patrol accident report say officers attempted to stop Troy C. Marvin, 31, of Cedar Rapids, after he committed a traffic violation but instead of stopping he fled. Marvin drove his pickup through a Tama street intersection colliding with a car driven by Ian L. Halvorson, 25, of Tama.

The Iowa State Patrol says both vehicles left the roadway, struck a utility pole and rolled several times. Both men were pronounced dead at the scene.

The crash is still under investigation by the Iowa State Patrol.
