Fatal accident claims Forest City student
October 9, 2002
|
Fire and rescue personnel work at the scene of the semi-car crash east of Forest City Wednesday afternoon.
|
FCHS homecoming activities postponed for four weeks.
Funeral services were held on Saturday for Darci Hersleff, 15, at the St. James Catholic Church in Forest City.
Hersleff died at Mercy Medical Center-North Iowa in Mason City, following a semi-car accident Wednesday, on Highway 9 east of Forest City. Hersleff was a passenger in a car driven by Laura Pederson, 15, of Fertile, who was also taken to Mercy Medical Center.
Pederson was listed in critical condition following the crash, but was upgraded to serious condition on Monday.
Counselors from the school system, area churches and the area education association were at the Forest City High School on Thursday to help students and staff deal with the loss of Hersleff. A community-wide interdenominational church service was held Thursday evening for Hersleff at St. James. The service allowed many students the opportunity to speak about memories of Hersleff.
"It helped the healing process," Forest City Superintendent Dwight Pierson said of the service and funeral. "It was a fitting way to recognize the loss of a person that the school community thought was very endearing."
Hersleff was the Sophomore Class President and a member of the cross country, basketball and softball teams. Homecoming activities were postponed following the accident on Wednesday.
The Forest City homecoming football game will now be played November 1, at 7:30 p.m., against Hampton-Dumont. The coronation of the homecoming king and queen will be October 29, at 8 p.m., in the high school gymnasium. That will be followed by the jersey auction.
The advisor/advisee luncheon will be on noon on November 1. That Friday will also feature a pep rally at 1:00 p.m. and a parade at 2:00 p.m. The homecoming dance will be Saturday, November 2, from 8:00 p.m. to midnight.
The accident occurred Wednesday at 3:45 p.m., at the intersection of Highway 9 and county road S14. Pederson's car was heading north on S14 and had stopped at the junction with Highway 9. The car then pulled out into the path of a westbound semi driven by Chad Nordskog of Forest City.
The truck, which was loaded with gravel, struck the car on the right side. Both vehicles came to rest in the ditch north and west of the intersection.
Nordskog was also transported to Mercy Medical Center, where he was treated and released.
Hersleff and Pederson were both wearing their seat belts at the time of the accident.
Assisting the Iowa State Patrol at the scene were the Winnebago County Sheriff's Department, Worth County Sheriff's personnel, the Forest City, Hanlontown and Fertile First Responders and the Forest City Ambulance.
