CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa -  Two people were killed in a multi-car crash on I-380 in Cedar Rapids Monday night, after 911 callers reported a car going the wrong way on the interstate.

Cedar Rapids police say 69-year-old Robert Norton Junior of Iowa City was going southbound in the northbound lanes in a Toyota Prius when he crashed head-on into a car driven by 28-year-old Jennifer Koenighain of Cedar Rapids.

They were both killed.

Two other people were taken to the hospital after their car, a third car, crashed into the first two cars. They are expected to survive.

I-380 was closed for six hours during the investigation and clean up of the large amount of debris.
