(Hamburg, Iowa) – The Iowa State Patrol reports a Fremont County Sheriff’s Deputy/K-9 handler, was involved in an injury accident last week. Information released today (Thursday), said the accident occurred at around 7-p.m. on January 25th, in Hamburg. The Patrol says a 2001 Dodge Ram pickup driven by a 16-year-old male was traveling west on E Street in Hamburg, while a 2019 Dodge Charger driven by Andrew J. Wake, of Sidney, was traveling north on Washington Street.

The report says Wake failed to stop at the intersection, and did not see the pickup traveling through the intersection. The driver of the pickup took evasive action, but the vehicle was struck broadside by the Dodge. Both drivers refused medical attention at the scene. The Patrol says the teen did not have an Iowa driver’s license on him at the time of the crash.

Andrew Wake is a Sergeant/K-9 handler with the Fremont County Sheriff’s Department. He was on duty at the time the accident occurred. The Patrol was assisted at the scene by Hamburg Rescue.
