Orange City, Iowa — A rear-end collision sent an Alton teen to the hospital on Friday, April 19, 2024.
Shortly after 10:10 p.m., the Sioux County Sheriff’s Office reports that 20-year-old Guillermo Gonzalez of Fremont, Nebraska, was driving a 2018 Toyota Camry northbound on Jackson Avenue, one mile south of Orange City. They say 17-year-old Angelina Nelson of Alton was driving a 2010 Chevrolet Impala northbound on Jackson Avenue behind Gonzalez.

The Orange City Ambulance took Nelson to Orange City Area Health.
Damage to the Gonzalez Toyota was estimated at $10,000. The Nelson Chevrolet sustained approximately $5,000 in damage.
