A hay bale on the road in Union County over the weekend, was struck by an SUV, causing the vehicles’ air bags to deploy. The Union County Sheriff’s Office reports a pickup driven by 20-year old Dalten Bierle, of Creston, was traveling south on Highway 25 at around 11:45-a.m. Sunday, when a bale fell off a large utility trailer being pulled by the pickup, and landed in the northbound lane. The bale was struck by a 2010 GMC SUV driven by 48-year old Melinda Kay Eslinger, of Greenfield.

Eslinger complained of pain and possible injury after her vehicles’ air bags went off, but was not transported to the hospital. There were no citations issued.
