Two people were injured Thursday night in Guthrie County, when a pickup rear-ended a tractor. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 2009 Chevy Silverado pickup driven by 23-year old Kaleb Michael Borders, of Copperas Cove, Texas, was traveling north on Justice Road, north of 140th Street at around 8:42-p.m., when it struck the rear of a northbound 1970 International 856 tractor, driven by 60-year-old Steven Kevin Derry, of Audubon.

Borders was transported by Mercy One Helicopter to Mercy Hospital in Des Moines. Derry was taken by Bayard Fire and Rescue to the Audubon County Memorial Hospital.

The crash remains under investigation. The Patrol was assisted at the scene by Guthrie and Greene County Sheriff’s Deputies.
