Yoder was also southbound, mowing the ditch on the west side of the roadway, which created the dust cloud. The Allen vehicle collided with the mower, causing a mower wheel to snap off at the axle. The Chrysler sustained heavy front-end damage to the passenger side, as well as to the undercarriage, wheel and tire. Both air bags deployed. There were no injuries. damage was estimated between $10,000 and $25,000.

The vehicle continued sideways off the right side of the roadway and flipped onto its top after striking a ditch running perpendicular to the road. It came to a rest on its top on the north side of the ditch and Wilkie was unable to get out.
When officers released him from the car, he refused medical treatment. Tests showed the presence of drugs, and Wilkie was arrested for operating a vehicle while using a controlled substance.
Damage was estimated between $2,500 and $5,000.
