Boyden, Iowa — A Hartley man was taken to the hospital after being struck by a semi at a feed mill in Boyden.
The Sioux County Sheriff’s Office says about 11:30 a.m on Wednesday, January 15th, 64-year-old Bruce Wehner of Jesup, Iowa, was backing a 2016 Freightliner pulling a tank trailer on the property of the Farmer’s Cooperative Society (FCS) feed mill, 903 Taft Street, in Boyden. As he was backing, the truck slid into a railing. Employees at the elevator pulled the Freightliner from the railing using a loader. As Wehner began driving forward again, an FCS employee, 26-year-old Jeremy Nagel of Hartley was walking next to the Freightliner when he slipped on some ice and his legs slid under one of the rear tires of the moving Freightliner.
The Boyden Ambulance took Nagel to Sanford Sheldon.
The railing sustained approximately $500 in damage. The Freightliner and trailer were not damaged.
The sheriff’s office says the Boyden Ambulance Squad, Boyden Fire Department, and the Sheldon Community Ambulance Team assisted them on the scene.
