A Council Bluffs man faces multiple charges after a head-on collision claimed the life of a Minburn woman. 

According to the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office, 53-year-old Joseph Stephen Wink of Council Bluffs has been charged with driving while license denied or revoked, driving while barred and driving while license denied, suspended, cancelled or revoked. The charges stem from a traffic collision on February 2nd.

Hardisty was pronounced dead at the scene, while a seven-year-old child in Hardisty’s vehicle suffered injuries and was taken to Blank Children’s Hospital in Des Moines and Wink also suffered injuries and was taken to Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines.
