The State Patrol assisted sheriff’s deputies at the scene and in the follow-up investigation.
• At around 4:10-p.m. on Nov. 24th, a 2023 Mack semi hauling a grain hopper and driven by 60-year-old Robert D. Barker, of Coon Rapids, and a 2014 Dodge RAM pickup driven by 67-year-old Nicholas J. Miller, of Lake City, collided on Highway 25, near the railroad bridge underpass. The Sheriff’s Office says  the pickup was traveling south on HIghway 25 and was hauling a homemade trailer carrying a large roll, and was slowing down while going under the railroad bridge, when the semi failed to stop or reduce speed. The semi struck the pickup/trailer on the rear, causing an estimated total of $20,000 damage.
• And, on Nov. 25th at about 12:36-p.m., a Guthrie County Deputy was dispatched to the scene of an abandoned vehicle with its airbags deployed, in a field, near 3471 28oth Road. An investigation determined the vehicle has been involved in a collision, causing disabling damage. After speaking with the vehicle’s registered owner, 39-year-old Donald P. Felgate, of Panora, he advised he had driven straight off a curve in the road, due to dense fog in the area. The accident took place at around 12:01-a.m. The car sustained an estimated $10,000 damage.
