Sheldon, Iowa — Nobody was injured, but massive damage was done to a Sheldon business building when it was struck by a car Friday (September 2nd).
According to a report from the Sheldon Police Department, the accident happened at noon Friday in the parking lot at Hardee’s Restaurant. The report states that a 2009 Ford Taurus was parked in a parking space on Hardee’s north side, facing south.
