(Ruthven)– A two-vehicle collision Thursday in Ruthven sent three people to the hospital.
The Palo Alto County Sheriff’s Office says 48-year-old Candice Thompson of Spencer was eastbound on 360th Street and was making a left turn onto Gowrie Street when she collided with a vehicle driven by 21-year-old Michael Terveer of Ayrshire.
Three passengers in Terveer’s vehicle, 20-year-old Mark Frederick of Newell; 28-year-old Carly Shannon of Ayrshire and 24-year-old Michael Fedele of Emmetsburg were taken by ambulance to the Palo Alto County Hospital in Emmetsburg. Their injuries weren’t believed to be serious.
Damage to a 2004 Dodge driven by Thompson was estimated at eight thousand dollars; a 1999 Mercury driven by Terveer was totaled.
Thompson was cited for failure to yield.
The Palo Alto County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Ruthven Fire Department, Ruthven and Emmetsburg ambulances and the Iowa State Patrol.
