Ionia man dies, two injured in Mitchell County crash

Press Staff Report
An Ionia man suffered fatal injuries and two Osage residents were injured in a two-vehicle collision between Osage and Grafton about 7:35 p.m. Monday, April 23.
The Iowa State Patrol reported that driver Garrett Patrick Bormann, 24, of Ionia, was traveling south on County Road S70/Balsam Avenue in Mitchell County, when his 1997 Dodge Ram pickup apparently failed to stop at a stop sign at the intersection with Highway 9.

Kenneth Nelson Jahncke, 61, of Osage, was driving east on Highway 9 with passenger Linda Susan Jahncke, 65, when their 2014 Honda Accord “was struck broadside by” the Ram pickup, the report said.

According to the patrol report, Bormann was transported by Mayo One helicopter to Mayo Clinic Hospitals in Rochester, Minnesota, but did not survive his injuries.

Bormann was an Ionia firefighter and the Ionia Volunteer Fire Department expressed its sympathies to his family on its Facebook page Tuesday. Bormann’s father, Dean Bormann, is also a firefighter with the department.

The Jahnckes were transported by ambulance to Mitchell County Regional Health Center, but a hospital spokesperson said Wednesday they did not have a record of them as patients.

The Mitchell County Sheriff’s Office assisted at the scene.
