According to the Sioux County Sheriff’s Office, shortly after 8:45 p.m., 19-year-old Joshua Schelling of Orange City was driving a 1979 John Deere farm tractor pulling a manure spreader westbound on 400th Street, or B40, three miles east of Sioux Center. They report that 59-year-old Tina Timmerman of Orange City was driving a 2017 Ford Escape westbound on 400 Street behind Schelling.
