(Mallard)--One person was sent to the hospital after an accident involving a pick-up and a semi Monday evening near Mallard in Palo Alto County.

The Iowa State Patrol says the accident happened shortly after 7:40 pm at the intersection of 500^th St. and 525^th Ave. The patrol says a 2013 Peterbilt semi-tractor and trailer driven by 32-year-old Jacob Banwart of Rolfe was northbound and a 2008 Ford F-150 pickup driven by 57-year-old Denton Knobloch of West Bend was eastbound approaching 525^th Ave. Banwart did not see the pickup and proceeded through the intersection. The pickup collided with the trailer of the semi and was drug under the trailer for a short distance and came to rest in the ditch. The trailer became unhooked from the semi and struck a utility pole.

Knobloch was transported by Palo Alto County Ambulance to Palo Alto County Hospital with unknown injuries.

The Palo Alto County Sheriff’s Office also assisted at the scene.
