Driver of the semi was Gary Lynn Pederson, 28, Brookings, S.D. driving the 1979 GMC tractor trailer from Coast-to-Coast stores of Brookings. Pederson was not injured. There was extensive damage to the tractor which came to a stop on the shoulder of the highway. The accident, investigated by Iowa highway patrol trooper William Wruck, took place at 3:30 p.m. about 3 miles north of Akron on highway 12 near the Ericson farm. Ericson was pulling a wagon behind the tractor. Trooper Wruck said Ericson was attempting to make a left turn into a field and the semi and tractor were both traveling north. As the semi struck the tractor Ericson was thrown from the cab of the 1977 International. The tractor rolled over him, resulting in death, the trooper said. At the scene was Plymouth county medical examiner Dr. Daryl Doorenbos of Le Mars, deputy sheriff Tom Bice, Akron police and the trooper. Rescuers worked for some time to remove the body. Pederson told officials he was traveling behind the tractor when Ericson pulled over to the road's right side. He said he thought Ericson was allowing him to pass, but the tractor turned left. Pederson was cited for improper passing. (See complete obituary on inside.) **Note: Not able to access the page of the obituary.
