The Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office released details on an accident that took place on Sunday evening. At 5:51 p.m. Deputies responded to the accident at the intersection of Highways 25 and 141.

After investigation it was determined that a 2011 Toyota Tundra driven by 44-year-old Horacio Gomez Sanchez of Memphis, Tennessee was traveling northbound on Highway 25 when he ran a stop sign at the intersection with Highway 141. Gomez Sanchez then struck the rear driver’s side of a 2013 Ford F150 pickup driven by 57-year-old Steven Joseph Kepford of Moorhead, IA as he was traveling westbound. The F150 spun around and stopped on the north shoulder of Highway 141 facing East. The Tundra spun around to the northwest and became airborne, striking a light pole before coming to rest on its top north of 141 in the ditch.

Panora EMS transported two patients to the Guthrie County Hospital for possible injuries. A passenger in the Ford, Karen Kay Kepford suffered suspected minor injuries.

Both vehicles were a total loss and were towed from the scene. The Guthrie County REC light pole that was struck sustained an estimated $3,500 damage.

Horacio Gomez Sanchez was cited for No Valid Drivers License and Failure to Obey Stop Sign and Yield Right of Way.
