Two pickup trucks driven by rural Mondovi residents were involved in an accident early last week on snow-covered roads at the intersection of State and Water streets. The impact sent one of the vehicles down a steep embankment where it struck a tree, resulting in minor injuries for the 70-year-old driver.

Snowy conditions contribute to minor crash in city limits

Two Mondovi-area men were involved in an accident on Mondovi’s south side on Monday afternoon, Nov. 24, resulting in a traffic citation for one driver and medical assistance for the other.

Slippery roads contributed to several slide-ins that morning and afternoon as about three inches of snow fell in the Mondovi area.

According to information provided by the Mondovi Police Department, David A. Berg, 70, was evaluated by Mondovi Ambulance personnel for minor injuries following the collision, but he was not transported. The second man involved, 49-year-old Kevin L. Stress, was not injured.

Upon investigation, authorities determined that Berg was headed southbound on South State Street shortly after 3:30 p.m. As he approached the intersection of State and West Water Street, a vehicle driven by Stress stopped at the stop sign before driving directly in front of Berg’s 2014 Chevrolet Silverado.

As Stress’ 2013 Chevy Silverado proceeded westbound through the intersection into Berg’s path, his pickup was struck by Berg’s on the rear right side, causing it to spin around before coming to a rest on the eastbound shoulder of Water St. facing the opposite way.

Berg’s truck then struck Stress’ vehicle a second time head-on before traveling over the curb and down the embankment at the southwest corner of the intersection, striking a tree before coming to a stop.

Stress was ticketed for failing to yield to the right of way at a stop sign.

Berg’s truck sustained moderate damage in the incident and was removed from the scene by Bauer’s Towing Service.

Snow and ice were present on the roadway at the time of the accident, police noted.

The Mondovi Fire Department and the Buffalo County Sheriff’s Department also assisted at the scene.
