The Sheriff’s Office says the accident happened at around 6:10-p.m. on Railroad Highway, near Yellow Pole Road. According to the report, 35-year old Jayson Hickle, of Missouri Valley, was traveling southbound in a truck, when the vehicle collided head-on with a combine driven by 50-year old Larry Larsen, of Crescent.
