Authorities say Cedar was eastbound on Highway 10 and was approaching a stop sign.
Cedar sustained minor injuries. He was taken by private vehicle to the Cherokee clinic. No other injuries were reported.
The car driven by Moulton sustained an estimated eight thousand dollars in damage; about five thousand dollars in damage was estimated to the semi tractor-trailer owned by Hy-Vee.
