Two persons received minor injuries in an accident which occurred at 4:54 p.m. on March 6.
The O’Brien County Sheriff’s Office reported that Renee Margaret Sterler, 52, of Sanborn, was westbound on U.S. Highway 18/320th Street, and was following a vehicle driven by Jonathan Kenneth Rozeboom, 26, of Sheldon. Sterler failed to notice that Rozeboom was slowing down in order to turn left onto Oak Hill Avenue. Her vehicle started to overtake the Rozeboom vehicle and struck it on the driver’s side. Rozeboom’s 2001 Ford F150 came to rest in the southwest corner of the intersection just into the ditch, and Sterler’s 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe came to rest west of the intersection on the south shoulder of 320th Street.
Both drivers were transported to Sanford Sheldon Medical Center by Sheldon Ambulance. Damage to the Sterler vehicle was estimated at $15,000 and damage to the Rozeboom vehicle was listed at $5,000.
