(College Springs, Iowa) –  One person was injured during a collision that happened at around 8-a.m. Wednesday, in College Springs. The Page County Sheriff’s Office reports the collision occurred at the intersection of Missouri Avenue and 290th Street. An investigation determined 45-year-old James Paul Patterson, of rural Coin, and his passenger, were traveling southbound on Missouri Avenue in a 2010 Ford F-150 pickup. The driver of the other vehicle, a 2001 Dodge Dakota pickup, was identified as 24-year-old Joshua Allen Grashorn, of College Springs. He was traveling east on 290th Street.

Grashorn told Page County Sheriff’s Office Deputies that when he failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection of 290th street and Missouri Avenue, his vehicle struck Patterson’s vehicle in the rear passenger’s side door and passenger’s side box. The collision took place in the middle of intersection, and resulted in both pickups landing in the southeast ditch. Both vehicles sustained disabling damage and were towed from the accident scene.

Patterson and his passenger were not hurt. Grashorn was transported to Clarinda Regional Hospital by Clarinda Ambulance Service, for treatment of unknown injuries. He was subsequently cited for Failure to Yield upon entering through Highway. The Page County Sheriff’s Office was assisted at the scene by the Clarinda Ambulance Service, the College Springs Fire and Rescue, and the Page County EMA.
