Rudd Man Jason Elgin Hurt in Osage-Area Crash, ISP Says

MITCHELL COUNTY, IA, (June 29, 2026) – Two people were hospitalized Monday afternoon following a multi-vehicle crash in Mitchell County.

According to the Iowa State Patrol, the crash occurred around 4 p.m. at the intersection of Highway 9 and River Road just outside of Osage. A 2008 Pontiac Solstice traveling westbound rear-ended a 2019 Chevy Silverado driven by Jason Elgin. The Pontiac then crossed into the eastbound lane and struck a 2015 Chevy Silverado head-on.

Elgin, 43, of Rudd, was transported to Mitchell County Regional Health System with non-life-threatening injuries.

The driver of the Pontiac was also taken to Mitchell County Regional Health System, sustaining life-threatening injuries.

The Iowa State Patrol continues to investigate the crash.

Incident Location


CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

According to a 2018 National Safety Council report, motor vehicle crashes resulted in 4.5 million injuries nationwide.

As investigators work to determine the cause and liability of the crash, Candice Bond, an experienced accident attorney and Managing Partner of Bond Legal, said it’s essential for victims to have an independent investigation conducted by a seasoned attorney.

“In addition to the diligent work of law enforcement, an attorney can re-interview important witnesses, analyze any surveillance video from the scene of the crash, and obtain phone and texting records of the liable party,” said Bond, a national analyst for Accident Injury News.

“Serving as an advocate, an attorney can help compassionately guide an injured victim during this difficult time while vigorously protecting their legal rights and best interests.”

“An accident reconstruction team is sometimes needed to help piece together what happened. All of these resources are necessary for helping clients receive monetary compensation for damages or a loss following a collision,” Bond noted.


PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the results of the investigation, Jason Elgin may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal, noted that the stress and worry following a serious injury can be overwhelming, disrupting all aspects of life, including family, work, finances, and overall quality of life.

“It is vital for victims to hire an attorney when filing a personal injury claim, which allows them to negotiate with an insurance company on behalf of a client,” Formica added.

“Insurance companies can be notoriously unconcerned with the mounting costs that an injured party may accrue. An attorney can help. We protect the victims of these tragedies daily, forcing the insurance companies to pay for their mistakes,” he added.
