Authorities say a van driven by Margaret Trotter, of Atlantic, was traveling south on Maple and had entered the intersection with 6th Street, when she struck a pickup driven by Paul Hohenberger, of Atlantic, that was headed westbound on 6th. Hohenberger stopped at the intersection, but then proceeded west when he was hit. The man was cited for Failure to Yield from a stop sign.

Hohenberger reported minor injuries, but refused transport to the hospital. A passenger in the van was transported by Medivac Ambulance to the Cass County Memorial Hospital, while a second passenger in the vehicle and Trotter went to the facility in a private vehicle.

Damage from the collision amounted to $14,500.
