September 16, 2024 Steve Schwaller

(Sheldon)– A two-vehicle collision around 5:30 pm Friday at the intersection of Highway 18 and Pierce Avenue west of Sanborn sent a Sheldon teen to the hospital.

The O’Brien County Sheriff’s Office says 18-year-old Alexis Wunder of Spencer was driving a 2008 Ford eastbound when a vehicle in front of her stopped. A 15-year-old from Sheldon was driving a 2011 Volkswagen, also eastbound, and couldn’t stop in time. She collided with the rear of the vehicle driven by Wunder. The 15-year-old driver of the other vehicle complained of injury and was taken by ambulance to the Sheldon hospital. No injuries were reported to Wunder.

The 15-year-old was cited for not having a driver’s license and following too closely.
