The pickup had stopped to wait for oncoming traffic from the south. A car driven by Janice M. Kringen, 38, rural Storm Lake, was also southbound behind the pickup and as her car was almost coming to a stop for the pickup, her car was hit from behind by the Chase car. The Chase vehicle then swerved into the northbound lane, hitting the car Markwick was driving. Chase was charged with failure to have control. Damage was estimated at $2,900.
