(Atlantic, Iowa) – A Little League Field fence at the Atlantic Sports Complex was damaged over the weekend by a vehicle. A video posted to Facebook by Parks and Rec Coordinator Jeff Christensen, Sunday, showed tracks left in the gravel by an unknown vehicle that was apparently doing “donuts,” when it crashed into a fence, causing the fence to be bent over and broke in some spots. https://fb.watch/uVifR8Agra/
(Christensen said in the video “This is gonna take a little money to fix, people. We need to stop doing this to our stuff.” He urged anyone with information about who may have perpetrated the damage to call the Atlantic Police Department.)

SIOUX CITY (KTIV) – After authorities searched for about 10-hours, a body was recovered, Friday, from a pickup truck that entered the Missouri River early Friday morning, in Sioux City. KTIV in Sioux City reports a pickup traveling south on Interstate 29 went into the river at around 6:35-a.m., Friday, near the railroad bridge.
A passenger who was in the vehicle during the crash told authorities that the driver had a medical episode. Sioux City Police believe that caused the pickup to go off I-29, through a fence, over a walking trail and into the river. The passenger was able to get out of the pickup and was sent to a Sioux City hospital. Authorities have not identified the driver or passenger.
Sioux City Fire Rescue led the recovery efforts along the Iowa side of the river. The area they were searching in the water was 17 feet deep, and the water was moving at nearly 10 mph in the spot where the pickup was located.
