An eastbound SUV drifted onto the shoulder of Iowa Highway 141 east of Sloan on November 22, 2014, overcorrected, and crossed into the westbound lane, hitting a pickup head on. Five people died, among them Myrna Malone, 70, who was riding beside her husband Larry. The at-fault driver carried too little liability coverage to pay for the losses, so Larry Malone, individually and as administrator of his wife's estate, sued the family's own underinsured motorist carrier, American Family Mutual Insurance Company, for breach of contract in Polk County. The jury's verdict form, filed September 21, 2017, valued the loss of spousal consortium at $1,300,000 and the loss of parental consortium at $250,000 for each of the couple's two adult children, $1,800,000 in all. No appeal followed.
