The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office reports a teen was cited for Failure to Obey a Stop Sign, following a collision Thursday between a pickup and a semi tractor-trailer, in Stanton. The accident in Stanton happened around 4:30-p.m., at the intersection of Highway 34 and Q Avenue. Authorities say an unidentified 15-year old male was driving a 2005 Ford F-250 pickup when he failed to stop at the intersection. The 2007 Freightliner semi, driven by 53-year old David E. Lorenzen, of Fremont, NE., struck the pickup on passenger side, causing the pickup to enter the north ditch. No injuries were mentioned by either driver at the time of the Sheriff’s report.

Damage to the pickup was estimated at $5,000. The semi sustained about $25,000 damage. And, the stop sign owned by the State of Iowa, sustained $200 damage.
