(Le Mars) — Plymouth County authorities are looking for a red vehicle with what they believe may have substantial damage to the right front following a hit-and-run accident with a small tractor that occurred Wednesday morning. The incident happened just south of the intersection of County roads C-38 and K-64 at about 7:40 a.m. Apparently, a smaller 1950’s Farmall B tractor was traveling northbound on K-64 when it was struck from behind. The driver, Mark Schroeder, age 76 of rural Le Mars, was found lying on the roadway next to the tractor. Schroeder was treated at the scene for a head injury and then transported to the Floyd Valley hospital by Le Mars Ambulance. Schroeder’s injuries are not believed to be life threatening. The collision caused the tractor to split in half, and throwing the driver from the tractor. The driver of the tractor was transported to the Floyd Valley Hospital by the Le Mars Ambulance. Anyone with information about this accident are urged to contact the Plymouth County Sheriff’s office at (712) 546-8191.
