Sheldon, Iowa — One man from Ashton and one from Manilla, Iowa were both taken to the hospital after an accident Friday south of Sheldon.
According to the Sioux County Sheriff’s office, at about 2:30 p.m., 49-year-old Shane Peterson of Ashton was driving a 2016 Freightliner Pacer northbound on Highway 60, four miles south of Sheldon. They tell us that 27-year-old William Hollinger of Manilla, Iowa, was driving a 2004 GMC Sierra pickup on 360th Street. He had stopped for the stop sign at Highway 60 and then attempted to cross Highway 60 and the two struck, according to the sheriff’s office.
They say the Freightliner sustained about $20,000 in damages. Damage to the GMC was estimated at $10,000.
The Sheldon Community Ambulance Team took Peterson and Hollinger to Sanford Sheldon Medical Center for treatment of their injuries.
Hollinger was cited on a charge of operating a motor vehicle without a valid driver’s license, no motor vehicle liability insurance, and failure to yield from a stop sign.
The sheriff’s office says the Sheldon Fire Department and the Sheldon Community Ambulance Team assisted with the response to the accident.
