A head-on collision between a car and a pickup truck in northwest Iowa’s Sioux County resulted in both drivers being transported to the hospital. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 2008 Nissan Altima driven by 20-year-old Dalton Denhartog-Hopcroft, of Alton (IA), was traveling west on Iowa Highway 10 at around 7:27-a.m., when the vehicle crossed into the eastbound lane. An eastbound 2014 Chevy Silverado pickup driven by 21-year-old Colin Heronemous, of Orange City, was traveling eastbound and swerved left to avoid a collision. Denhartog-Hopcroft swerved back into his own lane prior to the vehicles colliding head-on.

Dalton Denharthog-Hopcroft, who was wearing a seat belt, was flown by Mercy Air Care to MercyOne Siouxland Hospital. Heronemous was not wearing a seat belt. He was transported by Orange City Ambulance to the Orange City Hospital. The accident remains under investigation.
