DUBUQUE - At least one person was killed and several people were injured when a car and pick-up truck collided on Friday afternoon.

It happened at the intersection of Hwy 61 and Merlin Lane around 4:30 p.m.

A witness says the driver of the pick-up truck had a lawn-mower in the back of the truck. The impact of the crash sent that lawn mower flying through the air. It landed about 50 feet away from the truck.

The names of the victims are not yet being released.
