Authorities had said previously, the 15 passenger van, a 2002 Chevy Express, went out of control on the 100% snow/ice covered roads at around 6:49-a.m, and crashed near Wellsburg.

The incident happened as the van was heading westbound on US Highway 20.  The driver of the van, 33-year-old Sara E.

None of the vehicle’s occupants were wearing a seat belt, and the children were not in a child restraint seat.

The Patrol identified those who died as: 22-year-old Ervin J. Borntreger, 1-year old Marlin Borntreger, 4-year-old Emma Borntreger, and 2-year-old Rebecca Borntreger, all of Dehli (IA).

News

January 28th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

(Storm Lake, Iowa) – A collision Friday evening between an SUV and a pickup truck in Storm Lake, resulted in one person being flown to a hospital. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 2022 GMC Terrain SUV driven by 40-year-old Ann M. Krummen, of Storm Lake, was eastbound on 600th Street at around 6:20-p.m., and approaching a stop sign at the intersection with Highway 71 on the city’s southeastern side.

A 2021 Chevy Silverado pickup driven by 37-year-old Michael L. Sly, of Dallas Center, was traveling south on Highway 71. When Krummen failed to yield the right-of-way from the stop sign, her vehicle collided with the pickup in the middle of the intersection. The Patrol says alcohol is a suspected factor in the crash.

Krummen – who was wearing her seat belt -was flown by air ambulance to Mercy Hospital in Sioux City. The Patrol was assisted at the scene by the Buena Vista County Sheriff’s Office and Storm Lake Police.

Sports

January 27th, 2023 by admin

The Atlantic girls basketball team picked up their second win over Class 1A 6th ranked St. Albert in a two week span on Friday night. The Trojans had an 11-point first half lead melt away early in the fourth quarter but they responded. Atlantic clamped St. Albert down defensively and closed the game on a 15-0 run to win 48-35. Trojan head coach Dan Vargason was thrilled with the overall effort.

It was a really solid team effort for Atlantic with three players finishing in double figures and another just two points shy. Paytn Harter sparked the Trojans in the first quarter with 6 early points. Jada Jensen had 8 of her 12 points in the second quarter and the Trojans led 27-17 at the break. Aubrey Guyer then had 6 of her 8 points in the second half and the Trojans went 8-11 at the foul line in the second half to help secure the win.

Harter and Madison Huddleson both had 11 points and the Trojans improved to 14-4 on the season. Next up is a trip to Red Oak on Tuesday.

St. Albert was led by 12 points from Missy Evezic. The Saintes drop to 15-3 and will next up take on cross town foe CB Abraham Lincoln on Saturday afternoon.

The Atlantic boys basketball team led all but a brief moment of the first quarter and pulled away in the second half of a 68-49 win over St. Albert on Friday night. The Trojans led by eight at halftime and then outscored the Falcons 21-12 in the third quarter to blow the game open. Atlantic head coach Derek Hall said the defensive effort helped spark that burst in the second half.

The Trojans held the lead around 20 for most of the rest of the game. Caden Andersen had a great game and scored 9 of his 12 points in that big third quarter.

Colton Rasmussen led the Trojans with 20 points, while Nolan Waters and Jackson McLaren each added 14 points. Waters knocked down three triples in the second half and knocked down a total of four in the game.

The Trojans improved to 5-11 on the season and will be back at it on Saturday for a 6:00 p.m. game against Perry.

St. Albert was led by 17 points from Noah Narmi and Colin Lillie added 15. The Falcons fall to 3-14 on the season and will travel to Underwood on Monday for their next contest.
