Dave Holstad says he has always enjoyed exploring the outdoors, first as a North Iowa farm boy, then later as a 35-year member of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Bureau.  Even in retirement, he still makes it a point to get out with his dog and walk.  

His walks are a workout — but not always in a good way.  

A rollover accident near the intersection of 300th Street and Lark Avenue sent a North Iowa woman to the hospital Monday, April 5.

At 11:39 a.m. the Cerro Gordo County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a rollover accident.  The vehicle was on fire and a subject was trapped inside, a press release from the sheriff’s office stated.

Donna Rench, 61, of Manly was traveling east on 300th Street when her 2005 Ford F-150 entered the north ditch and began to roll.
