The third victim of a traffic accident last Friday evening east of Charles City has been identified by an area funeral home.

The accident between two pickup trucks resulted in the deaths of driver Jacob Allen Mahnesmith, 28, of Nashua, and his passenger Shane Allen Wiltse, age 28, of Charles City, as well as the serious injuries of a third passenger, Thomas John Parcher, 29, of Marble Rock.

The driver of the other pickup truck was also killed, but the Iowa State Patrol still has not officially identified that person, pending positive identification.

Services for Mack will be 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, May 1, at Trinity Lutheran Church in New Hampton. He is survived by his fiance, Stacey Finnegan-Salinas, three children from a previous marriage and three grandchildren.
