These accident reports were released this past week by law enforcement agencies:

SHERIFF

260th Rd. west of Timber Rd.

County road and bridges employee Thomas C. Holub, 61, rural Marion, hit a deer at 6:45 a.m. April 24 with a county-owned 2019 Ford F-150.

The pickup remained drivable with damage to its right front and hood, according to one of five accident reports released Friday, more than a week after the wreck, by the sheriff’s department.

K-15 at 330th Rd.

Bending down to pick up something at 6:43 a.m. April 25, Mason L. Meyer, 20, rural Tampa, ran a stop sign on 330th Rd. and drove his westbound 2014 Jeep Cherokee into a northbound 2015 GMC Sierra owned and driven by Isaac S. Johnson, 26, Enterprise.

Deputy Jesse Raney blamed the accident on Meyer’s disregard for a traffic sign, but no tickets were listed as being issued.

Raney’s report listed both drivers as suffering non-incapacitating injuries. According to monitored broadcasts, they complained of knee and abdominal pain but declined to be taken to hospitals.

Hillsboro, Marion, and Tampa ambulances, an ambulance supervisor, and Durham and Tampa firefighters all were dispatched to the wreck.

Both vehicles were forced off the roadway by the collision, Meyer’s to the right and Johnson’s to the left. Both sustained disabling damage and were towed.

Meyer’s sport-utility vehicle sustained damage to its front third, left side, undercarriage, and windshield. Johnson’s pickup sustained damage to its rear half, left side, top, bed, and undercarriage.

K-256 east of Marion’s Eisenhower St.

Michael J. Darrow, 40, Marion County Lake, hit a deer at 6:17 a.m. April 28 with his 2002 Nissan Maxima, which remained drivable with damage to its front and hood.

US-56 at K-15/Holly Rd.

Larry P. Koehn, 76, rural Durham, turned his 2022 Subaru Forester left from eastbound US-56 onto northbound K-15 at 8:44 p.m. April 28 and into the path of a westbound 2015 Chevrolet Silverado owned and driven by Harold E. Peterson, 71, Goessel.

Deputy Caleb Tomlinson’s report blamed the accident on Koehn’s failure to yield, but no tickets were listed as being issued.

Both vehicles sustained disabling damage to their left fronts and were towed.

Wanda J. Koehn, 74, of Koehn’s address was a passenger in the sport-utility vehicle, and Pamela J. Peterson, 73, of Peterson’s address was a passenger in the pickup.

Tomlinson’s report states that Pamela Peterson suffered a non-incapacitating injury. The report does not indicate that she was taken to a hospital. However, monitored transmissions indicate she suffered a toe injury and was taken to Hillsboro Community Hospital by Hillsboro ambulance.

Hillsboro firefighters provided traffic control at the wreck.

US-50 at Old Mill Rd.

An eastbound 2024 Ford F-350 driven by Jacelyn Frost, 20, Randlett, Utah, T-boned an eastbound 2001 Ford F-150 owned and driven by Porter Robinson, 21, Newton, as Robinson was attempting to turn left onto Old Mill Rd. at 3:19 p.m. Thursday.

Deputy Jesse Raney’s report blamed the wreck on Frost’s failure to yield, but no tickets were listed as being issued.

Raney’s report lists Robinson as possibly being injured but does not indicate he was taken to a hospital. Monitored transmissions indicate he suffered back pain and was taken by Hillsboro ambulance to NMC Health, formerly Newton Medical Center.

Both pickups sustained disabling damage and were towed.

Frost’s F-350, owned by passenger Jenna M. Fulton, 22, of St. Lawrence, South Dakota, was damaged on its front and left side. It was forced off the road to the right.

Robinson’s F-150 was damaged on its right, rear, undercarriage, front, and left. It was forced off the road to the left.

Curtis Findley of the same Newton address was a passenger in Robinson’s F-150. Findley’s age was redacted by the sheriff’s department from the open, public record of the wreck.

According to monitored transmissions, three horses in a trailer being pulled by one of the pickups were uninjured.
