Traffic on Highway 1 was delayed just south of Kalona Wednesday due to a power line being down after a wreck.

According to the Washington County Communications Office, a car hit a sign and a utility pole at 11:20 a.m. The pole then collapsed onto the highway and was hit by a semi. Alliant Energy responded to resolve the issue. Washington County Sheriff’s personnel were also on scene. Nearoth Peterschmidt of Wellman was cited for following too closely. There was over $1,500 in damages.
