According to the accident report from the Iowa State Patrol, Gregorio Javier Tapia, 20, of Muscatine, was driving his 2009 Toyota Scion east on I-80 at 4:35 a.m. Sunday when — for unknown reasons — it left the road and hit the semi-truck parked legally on the south shoulder of eastbound I-80 at mile marker 269 in Cedar County, just a couple miles from the Wilton exit. While the truck didn’t move, the Scion came to a rest blocking both lanes and facing south. Tapia and his passenger, Anthony Nunez, 19, of Muscatine, were both pronounced dead at the scene.
