Hull, Iowa — A Rock Rapids man has died from injuries sustained in a car accident near Hull on Monday evening, April 20th, 2015.
The Sioux County Sheriff’s Office reports that about 8:50 PM, 22-year-old Steven Broersma of Sunnyside, Washington was driving a 1995 Case-International 7240 farm tractor pulling a manure spreader westbound on 290th Street, two miles north of Hull. Eighty-five-year-old Alvin Sohl of Rock Rapids was driving a 2006 Chrysler Town & Country minivan behind Broersma. As Sohl approached Broersma he was unable to stop and struck the rear of the manure spreader.
Alvin Sohl and a passenger, 82-year-old Arlene Sohl of Rock Rapids were transported to the Sioux Center Hospital
by the Hull Ambulance. They were both transferred to Avera Hospital in Sioux Falls, where Alvin Sohl died later that night.
