(Guthrie Center, IA) – An accident near the Courthouse in Guthrie Center, Thursday morning, resulted in unknown/possible injuries to the driver of an SUV, but the individual was not transported to the hospital. According to the Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office, 76-year-old Jackie Dee Wolfe, of Guthrie Center, was driving a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee eastbound out of an alley onto N. 5th Street at around 8:50-a.m., Thursday, when he apparently stepped on the accelerator pedal instead of the brake.

The SUV sped north onto N. 5th Street before hitting a 2020 Mack truck pulling a grain trailer. The truck – registered to the Landus Cooperative in Des Moines – was driven by 60-year-old James Wickland, of Guthrie Center. The SUV hit near the rear of the trailer before continuing onto N. 5th Street going southbound, and finally running into a legally parked and unoccupied 2016 Buick Enclave SUV, causing severe damage to the Buick. Wickland was not injured in the collision.

The Sheriff’s Office estimated the total amount of damage at $16,000. Authorities say Wolfe was cited for Failure to Yield Upon Entering a through highway.
