According to an Osceola police report, both a white semi trailer and a 2020 Jeep Cherokee driven by Kathryn Hauge of Osceola had exited Interstate 35 southbound and turned west onto W. Clay St., with Hauge behind the semi. Hauge stated that the semi stopped in the road in front of her, and started began backing up, likely due to missing the turn into the Pilot Truck Stop. Hauge had stopped as well and attempted to reverse, but was unable to get out of the way before the semi hit the front of her vehicle. Hauge said she honked her horn to alert the driver she was behind, but they continued to back up while pushing her car backwards until they eventually noticed Hauge and stopped backing, pulling into Pilot.
Hauge went and made contact with the driver, who told Hauge there was no damage and then got back into his truck and left. A passenger in Hauge’s vehicle was able to get some information off the side of the truck for officers. Officers checked the area including Interstate 35 south to the Iowa/Missouri state line, but were unable to locate the semi. Both officers and Hauge called the company on the side of the truck, Hills Freight LLC of Reno, Nevada, and left messages.
Damage is estimated at $1,000 to the 2020 Jeep. No injuries were reported.
