Pickup Collides with Tractor in NE Iowa
During this busy harvest season, authorities are reminding motorists to be aware of farm equipment using the roads.
The Fayette County Sheriff reports that a pickup collided with a tractor Wednesday afternoon, just before 5pm, near the intersection of Highway 187 and "K" Avenue, east of Maynard.
A pickup driven by 37 year old Dawn Novak of Oelwein, attempted to pass a Terra-Gator, driven by 25 year old Grant Turner of Waverly. The tractor made a left turn into a farm drive, and the two vehicles collided.
No one was injured, but the tractor had $3,000 in damage, and the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado had $12,000 damage.
Novak is being charged with attempting an unsafe pass.
