Two people were injured in a collision between a pickup truck and tractor Thursday night south of Bayard. The Iowa State Patrol responded to the scene on Justice Road north of 140th Street at approximately 8:42 p.m. An investigation into the incident is ongoing, but the initial indications are that 23-year-old Kaleb Michael Borders of Copperas Cove, Texas was northbound on Justice Road in a 2009 Chevrolet Silverado when he struck the rear of a 1970 International 856 tractor, also traveling northbound and driven by 60-year-old Steven Kevin Derry of Audubon. Borders was transported by helicopter to Mercy Hospital in Des Moines and Derry was taken to Audubon County Memorial Hospital by Bayard Fire and Rescue. The Guthrie and Greene County Sheriff’s Offices and Adair Fire Department also assisted at the scene.
