Vernon County Sheriff’s Report for Sept. 27 to Oct. 3

Tuesday, Sept. 28: Jason Snyder of Wonewoc was traveling eastbound on County Highway F in the town of Hillsboro when he stopped in the roadway to wait for Ira Sterba of Hillsboro, who was operating a tractor and equipment, to finish loading a semi.  Sterba backed up the tractor and trailer and collided with Snyder’s vehicle. Snyder was able to exit the vehicle before the collision; he could not back up due to the line of traffic behind him. No injuries were reported. The Snyder vehicle had functional damage; the farm equipment did not have any damage.

With pumpkin spice, falling leaves, and harvest season upon us, Vernon County Sheriff John Spears would like to remind drivers and equipment operators to be safe and patient on rural roads. Please be cautious and remember that you cannot pass tractors in a no passing zone. Motorists should wait until they enter a passing zone and pass when it’s safe to do so. Please give each other ample space to maneuver. Enjoy the peak start of the changing colors!
